Parameter Tampering – SQL Example
#4594 – a simple login request. uid=aaa & passw=bbb
#4602 – a probe. uid=‘ & passw=
#4605 – a fuller probe. Having received the error page of the above, the attacker wants to find out exactly how his/her input is processed. Hence uid=aaa’bbb & passw=ccc
#4607 – the full attack. uid=‘ or 1=1 or username=‘ & passw=
Note the SQL fragment or 1=1 or username=
Note Referer exists, session is maintained, attack is application specific.
Note that this is a POST request – web servers simply don’t log the parameters!!!
