The instuctions are long for this assignment/discussion board. They are below and attached as a word document called Week 7 Discussions – SQL Injection which is the directions for my discussion and for two other students I need to respond to that you may download.
Both of the students I chose are hyperlinked in the word document (Week 7 Discussions – SQL Injection) for me to reference for myself who I am going to be replying to which you cannot access.
NOTE: Student A has an image file and sql file provided so are also attached but student B did not provide one so you will just see the code in directions. Also, provide screen shots to prove when a script is volunerable for the one you make and how to hack it and the one that it migrated so you cannot do so. Same as providing screen shots for the 2 students who I will reply to as prof along with anything else I need.
Directions for what to do and what the students did below and attached:
SQL Injection is in the top 10 OWASP and Common Weakness Enumeration. Using MySQL and PHP, show your own very short and simple application that is vulnerable to this attack.
Provide another version that mitigates this issue. (Again keep this simple)
Screen shot(s) would be helpful!
Students should respond with specific tests (e.g. data input) that shows how they could break into your database application with your first example but were unsuccessful for your mitigated example.
Screen shot(s) would be helpful!
I have to respond to 2 other students and be sure to cover how you were able to break in to their first version but not the mitigated one. Here are the two I chose.
Student A:
SQL Injection Discussion – JGrimard (Reminder: Screen shot(s) would be helpful!)
I have created an insecure login page which is vulnerable to SQL injection. I then created another login web application which uses prepared statements to prevent SQL injection attacks. I tried to keep it as simple as possible, but posting data then accessing a database is not all that simple to begin with.
Just an FYI, ZAP doesn’t automatically find the SQL injection vulnerability, however if you use the login name, ie admin, along with some injection parameters you can easily bypass the password.
The SQL and index.php are the same for both secure and insecure versions. The processLogin.php file is the only one that is different.
Please let me know if you need me to explain any part of my code or need any tips on ‘breaking into’ my database. Here is a hint: this is the line of code that makes my web app vulnerable to sql injection:
$sql = “SELECT * FROM WebUsers WHERE UserID = ‘$userName’ AND Password = ‘$password'”;
-- This is the same for both secure and insecure

-- Create a table of users and passwords for Week 7 Discussion post
-- Use the sdev database
USE sdev;
-- Delete the table if it already exists
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS WebUsers;
-- Create table - WebUsers
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS WebUsers (
UserID VARCHAR(30) PRIMARY KEY,
Password VARCHAR(100),
FirstName VARCHAR(30),
LastName VARCHAR(30)
);

Student B:
sql injection.
run this sql to setup the database:
create table users(userName varchar(30));
insert into users (userName) values(‘hello’);
insert into users (userName) values(‘goodbye’);
insert into users (userName) values(‘nowsayhi’);
create sqlinjection.php page with this code:
<?php
if ($_SERVER[“REQUEST_METHOD”] == “POST”){
$userName = $_POST[‘userName’];
$output = “failure: can’t find you”;
// Try to connect
$mysqli = new mysqli(‘localhost’, ‘sdev_owner’,’sdev300′,’sdev’);
if ($mysqli->connect_error) {
die(‘Connect Error (‘ . $mysqli->connect_errno . ‘) ‘
. $mysqli->connect_error);
}
// For Windows MYSQL String is case insensitive
$Myquery = “SELECT ‘true’ as userName from users where userName=”$userName””;
if ($result = $mysqli->query($Myquery))
{
/* Fetch the results of the query */
while( $row = $result->fetch_assoc() )
{
if($row[“userName”] == ‘true’){
$output = “Success: Found you!”;
}
}
/* Destroy the result set and free the memory used for it */
$result->close();
}
$mysqli->close();
}
?>
<html>
<body>
<form action=”sqlinjection.php” method=”post”>
Enter your name and click submit to see if you’re in the database<br>
<input type=”text” name=”userName” id=”userName” value=”<?=$userName?>”><br><br>
<input name=”submit” type=”submit” value=”submit” />
<br><br>
<?php print $output; ?>
</body>
</html>
to eliminate this vulnerability, call this function when setting the $userName var:
function getNameText($tbValue, $maxLen){
$output=””;
$chars = str_split($tbValue);
foreach($chars as $char){
$charNum = ord($char);
if(($charNum >= 65 && $charNum <= 90) || ($charNum >= 97 && $charNum <= 122) || $charNum == 39 ||($charNum >= 44 && $charNum <=46)||$charNum == 32){
if($charNum == 39){ //apostrophe
$char = chr(239);
}
$output .= $char;
}
}
$output = substr($output,0,$maxLen);
return trim($output);
}
This student did not provide the SQL file or any screen shots to attached so the attachments apply to student one only.
PLEASE, place all answers and name of attachments that go with either my discussion, student A’s or Student B’s. All answers can be placed on tne Week 7 Discussions word document that I labed for where to put the answers in it for you and send it back with everthing else.
Doing so as a zip file or not is just fine. Either way works for me!
