Ethical Hacking Questions
A SQL injection attack is a type of cyber attack where an attacker exploits vulnerabilities in a web application's database layer to manipulate or extract data from the database. This is achieved by inserting malicious SQL code into user input fields, which is then executed by the application's database server. The goal of a SQL injection attack is to bypass authentication, gain unauthorized access to sensitive information, modify or delete data, or even take control of the entire database server.
