Re: [PEN-TEST] Hacking SQL queries ...

There IS actually an input filter on %input%. That is why the input

'test

becomes the output

''test

in the SQL query. Doubling the quotes causes just about any database engine
to view the quote as part of the parameter rather than as the end of the
parameter. So exploiting the issue brought up by rfp is a bit more
difficult.

In this case you need a way to outsmart the input filter and insert a single
quote without it being doubled. How exactly to escape out the second quote
added by the input filter is dependent on what system, database, network
software being used.
