That’s what just happened, a massive SQL Injection was discovered on F-secure, hat tip to 0×000000 I found it there, I wonder how many peoples computers just got malware on them.

But imagine in a controlled manner you could either destroy websites ranking by adding 50,000 links to all your competitors.

From F-secure,

Unless that data is sanitized before it gets saved you can’t control what the website will show to the users. This is what SQL injection is all about, exploiting weaknesses in these controls. In this case the injection code starts off like this (note, this is not the complete code):

DECLARE%20@S%20NVARCHAR(4000);SET%20@S=CAST(0×440045004300

Which when decoded becomes:

DECLARE @T varchar(255)’@C varchar(255) DECLARE Table_Cursor
CURSOR FOR select a.name’b.name from sysobjects a’syscolumns b
where a.id=b.id and a.xtype=’u’ and (b.xtype=99 or b.xtype=35
or b…

What happens as a result? It finds all text fields in the database and adds a link to malicious javascript to each and every one of them which will make your website display them automatically. So essentially what happened was that the attackers looked for ASP or ASPX pages containing any type of querystring (a dynamic value such as an article ID, product ID, et cetera) parameter and tried to use that to upload their SQL injection code.

is this a good time to mention Firewall Script again

Firewall Script

Ok one of my wifes favourite sayings at the moment is “busy idiots”, basically you are busy all the time but never focused enough to get things done. I have been looking at different open source solutions to stop 0 day expoilts, XSS hacks , and in fairness there are quite a few open source products out there, but the time and effort setting them up is just crazy, so I have decided to do a deal with Firewall Script. We are going to be including it in all our new wordpress client installs, I really like this product a lot, it’s easy to install and set up, so easy Dan almost did it here .. lol..

Anyway I want your points of view on it, the cost is just over £40, is it worth it? I mean have you ever tried to install modsecurity on a shared hosting platform?

Barack Obama Website Hacked !!

well it was an XSS exploit in the community section of Barack Obama’s site the exploit redirected users to Hillary Clinton’s, I guess it could have been worse it could have just downloaded Malware.

How can such high profile sites keep getting hacked, come on web masters firewall up !!
