Grant Fritchey is sick of SQL injection:
Instead, let’s talk about some of the common vectors of SQL Injection. Obviously, building and executing strings is the biggest issue. Appropriate use of parameters will do more to the fix the problem than almost any other step. However, it’s also enhanced by bad code on the front-end which doesn’t appropriately clean the data, inappropriate error handling, bad security, bad data isolation, and more.
The keys to the attack are to get back a few bits of information, usually in error messages in the case of a normal attack, or, through the use of the WAITFOR command in a blind attack (for more detail, I’m talking about this stuff at the PASS Summit). Getting error messages with information about the database makes it easier for me to hack your system (if I was evil). Knowing that I have a SQL Injection vector through the WAITFOR command helps me target appropriate systems (if I was evil).
For the most part, SQL injection isn’t a SQL problem—it’s an application problem (save for the case when you generate dynamic SQL and concatenate in input parameters). SQL Server-based solutions will only do a little bit; fixing the app code is the best answer.
