Abstract

Learn to exploit vulnerable database applications using SQL injection tools and techniques, while understanding how to effectively prevent attacks

Key Features

Understand SQL injection and its effects on websites and other systems Get hands-on with SQL injection using both manual and automated tools Explore practical tips for various attack and defense strategies relating to SQL injection

Book Description

SQL injection (SQLi) is probably the most infamous attack that can be unleashed against applications on the internet. SQL Injection Strategies is an end-to-end guide for beginners looking to learn how to perform SQL injection and test the security of web applications, websites, or databases, using both manual and automated techniques. The book serves as both a theoretical and practical guide to take you through the important aspects of SQL injection, both from an attack and a defense perspective. You'll start with a thorough introduction to SQL injection and its impact on websites and systems. Later, the book features steps to configure a virtual environment, so you can try SQL injection techniques safely on your own computer. These tests can be performed not only on web applications but also on web services and mobile applications that can be used for managing IoT environments. Tools such as sqlmap and others are then covered, helping you understand how to use them effectively to perform SQL injection attacks. By the end of this book, you will be well-versed with SQL injection, from both the attack and defense perspective.

What you will learn

Focus on how to defend against SQL injection attacks Understand web application security Get up and running with a variety of SQL injection concepts Become well-versed with different SQL injection scenarios Discover SQL injection manual attack techniques Delve into SQL injection automated techniques

Who this book is for

This book is ideal for penetration testers, ethical hackers, or anyone who wants to learn about SQL injection and the various attack and defense strategies against this web security vulnerability. No prior knowledge of SQL injection is needed to get started with this book.

Abstract

A comprehensive guide to understanding key techniques for architecture and hardware planning, monitoring, replication, backups, and decoupling Key Features Newly updated edition, covering the latest PostgreSQL 12 features with hands-on industry-driven recipes Create a PostgreSQL cluster that stays online even when disaster strikes Learn how to avoid costly downtime and data loss that can ruin your business Book Description Databases are nothing without the data they store. In the event of an outage or technical catastrophe, immediate recovery is essential. This updated edition ensures that you will learn the important concepts related to node architecture design, as well as techniques such as using repmgr for failover automation. From cluster layout and hardware selection to software stacks and horizontal scalability, this PostgreSQL cookbook will help you build a PostgreSQL cluster that will survive crashes, resist data corruption, and grow smoothly with customer demand. You'll start by understanding how to plan a PostgreSQL database architecture that is resistant to outages and scalable, as it is the scaffolding on which everything rests. With the bedrock established, you'll cover the topics that PostgreSQL database administrators need to know to manage a highly available cluster. This includes configuration, troubleshooting, monitoring and alerting, backups through proxies, failover automation, and other considerations that are essential for a healthy PostgreSQL cluster. Later, you'll learn to use multi-master replication to maximize server availability. Later chapters will guide you through managing major version upgrades without downtime. By the end of this book, you'll have learned how to build an efficient and adaptive PostgreSQL 12 database cluster. What you will learn Understand how to protect data with PostgreSQL replication tools Focus on hardware planning to ensure that your database runs efficiently Reduce database resource contention with connection pooling Monitor and visualize cluster activity with Nagios and the TIG (Telegraf, InfluxDB, Grafana) stack Construct a robust software stack that can detect and avert outages Use multi-master to achieve an enduring PostgreSQL cluster Who this book is for This book is for Postgres administrators and developers who are looking to build and maintain a highly reliable PostgreSQL cluster. Although knowledge of the new features of PostgreSQL 12 is not required, a basic understanding of Post...

Abstract

Breathe new life into older applications by refactoring T-SQL queries and code using modern techniques. This book shows you how to significantly improve the performance of older applications by finding common anti-patterns in T-SQL code, then rewriting those anti-patterns using new functionality that is supported in current versions of SQL Server, including SQL Server 2019. The focus moves through the different types of database objects and the code used to create them, discussing the limitations and anti-patterns commonly found for each object type in your database. Legacy code isn’t just found in queries and external applications. It’s also found in the definitions of underlying database objects such as views and tables. This book helps you quickly find problematic code throughout the database and points out where and how modern solutions can replace older code, thereby making your legacy applications run faster and extending their lifetimes. Author Lisa Bohm explains the logic behind each anti-pattern, helping you understand why each pattern is a problem and showing how it can be avoided. Good coding habits are discussed, including guidance on topics such as readability and maintainability. You will: Find specific areas in code to target for performance gains Identify pain points quickly and understand why they are problematic Rewrite legacy T-SQL to reduce or eliminate hidden performance issues Write modern code with an awareness of readability and maintainability Recognize and correlate T-SQL anti-patterns with techniques for better solutions Make a positive impact on application user experience in your organization.
