Eccouncil ECSAv10 Exam - Topic 6 Question 79 Discussion

Actual exam question for Eccouncil's ECSAv10 exam

Question #: 79
Topic #: 6

SQL injection attacks are becoming significantly more popular amongst hackers and there has been an estimated 69 percent increase of this attack type.

This exploit is used to great effect by the hacking community since it is the primary way to steal sensitive data from web applications. It takes advantage of non-validated input vulnerabilities to pass SQL commands through a web application for execution by a back-end database.

The below diagram shows how attackers launched SQL injection attacks on web applications.

Which of the following can the attacker use to launch an SQL injection attack?

ABlah' ''2=2 --''

BBlah' and 2=2 --

CBlah' and 1=1 --

DBlah' or 1=1 --

All those options look like they could work for an attack.

Not sure about that increase, seems a bit exaggerated.

SQL injection is super common, gotta validate inputs!

I recall a similar question where "Blah' ''2=2 --" was mentioned, but it seems less effective than the others listed here.

I think "Blah' and 2=2 --" might work too, but I'm not as confident about that one.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like "Blah' or 1=1 --" could be a valid attack vector since it always evaluates to true.

I remember practicing SQL injection examples, and I think the "1=1" condition is a classic way to bypass authentication.

This is a great question to test our understanding of SQL injection vulnerabilities. I'd approach it by carefully analyzing each of the provided options and thinking through how they could be used to exploit the application. The key is to identify the input that can inject malicious SQL commands.

Okay, let's see here. The question is asking what the attacker can use to launch the SQL injection attack. Based on the options provided, I think the answer is D - 'Blah' or 1=1 --'. That looks like a classic SQL injection technique to me.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The diagram is helpful, but I'm not totally clear on how the different SQL injection payloads work. I'll need to think this through carefully.

This looks like a classic SQL injection question. I'm pretty confident I can handle this one - the key is to identify the malicious input that can be used to exploit the application.

I'm a little confused by this question. There are a lot of technical details about SQL injection that I'm not super familiar with. I'll need to review my notes and try to understand the different injection techniques before I can confidently answer this.

Ha, SQL injection? That's like the hackers' version of a 'get out of jail free' card, am I right? I'm gonna have to go with D - 'Blah' or 1=1 --'. Seems like the most, uh, 'elegant' solution to me.

Ooh, this is a tricky one. I'm gonna have to go with C - 'Blah' and 1=1 --'. It just seems like the most logical choice to me. Though, I have to admit, I'm kinda jealous of those hackers who get to play with all this cool stuff.

SQL injection, huh? Sounds like something a hacker would use to mess with a website. I'd go with option B - 'Blah' and 2=2 --'. Feels like the most straightforward way to sneak past those security checks.

Ah, good ol' SQL injection! I remember learning about this in my cybersecurity class. The answer's gotta be D - 'Blah' or 1=1 --'. That's the classic way to exploit those non-validated inputs.
