Abstract

In present world the internet has become the most salient aspect of everyone’s day to day life. It is important to consider the security of the web applications and software services in order to protect devices from external attacks. So, any web application becomes prone to cyber threats where these threat attempts to steal a person’s information from various onsite applications. Every web application or software or hardware will have certain vulnerabilities through which a hacker can get into the target systems database to destroy services. This paper focuses on detecting the SQL injection attack and vulnerabilities of the software system which can be exploited by attacker. This will help us to understand the security level of one’s system which is exploited due to poor coding practices.

Keywords – SQL injection, vulnerabilities, detection, prevention
