Advanced SQL Injection with OWASP Juice Shop: Extracting Schemas and Credentials

SQL Injection is a critical vulnerability that allows attackers to manipulate SQL queries executed by an application. By exploiting SQL Injection flaws, attackers can access sensitive data, bypass authentication, or compromise an application's functionality. UNION-based SQL Injection is a powerful technique used to extract additional data from the database by combining multiple query results into a single response.

In this lab, you will explore advanced SQL Injection techniques using the OWASP Juice Shop application. You will perform UNION-based SQL Injection to retrieve sensitive information, such as database schemas and user credentials, and understand the potential consequences of these attacks.

Objectives

Upon completing this lab, you will:

• Understand UNION-based SQL Injection and its application in data extraction.
• Extract the database schema using SQL Injection.
• Retrieve user credentials from a vulnerable database.
• Learn best practices for preventing SQL Injection attacks in web applications

Who is this lab for?

This lab is designed for:

• Developers who want to understand advanced SQL Injection techniques and how to secure their applications.
• IT professionals seeking to improve their knowledge of web application vulnerabilities.
• Security enthusiasts learning how to identify and mitigate SQL Injection vulnerabilities.
