People often ask me "How did you learn how to hack?" The answer: by reading. This page is a collection of the blog posts and other articles that I have accumulated over the years of my journey. Enjoy!
SQL injection is about being able to directly modify the SQL query being made. By altering the logic of the query, data can be stolen or altered in the database.
Because NO data is returned back to the user, this was a blind SQLi. So, in order to exfiltrate data, a timing based method was used in order to leak data.
Timing Based SQLi is not something new. Personally, I found that the SQLi existed in the Referer header to be very interesting! Why here?
The Request Headers are data that is processed to! Giving a small set of test cases, even on very common headers, can cause some fruit :)
