Top 10 Tricks to exploit SQL Server Systems

12 January 2008 3 Comments

8. Reverse engineering the system

The reverse engineering trick looks for software exploits, memory corruption weaknesses and so on. In this sample chapter from the excellent book Exploiting Software: How to Break Code by Greg Hoglund and Gary McGraw, you’ll find a discussion about reverse engineering ploys.

9. Google hacks

Google hacks use the extraordinary power of the Google search engine to ferret out SQL Server errors — such as “Incorrect syntax near” — leaking from publicly accessible systems. Several Google queries are available at Johnny Long’s Google Hacking Database. (Look in the sections titled Error Messages and Files containing passwords.) Hackers use Google to find passwords, vulnerabilities in Web servers, underlying operating systems, publicly available procedures and more that they can use to further compromise a SQL Server system. Combining these queries with Web site names via Google’s ’site:’ operator often turns up juicy info you never imagined you could unearth.

10. Perusing Web site source code

Source code can also turn up information that may lead to a SQL Server break in. Specifically, developers may store SQL Server authentication information in ASP scripts to simplify the authentication process. A manual assessment or Google could uncover this information in a split second.
