Penetration Testing: Re: Invision Power Board Army System Mod <= 2.1 SQL Injection Exploit

["Angelos D. Keromytis" <angelos () cs columbia edu>]

A better citation is:

 @inproceedings{boyd2004acns,
  author = "Stephen W. Boyd and Angelos D. Keromytis",
  title = {{SQLrand: Preventing SQL Injection Attacks}},
  booktitle = "Applied Cryptography and Network Security (ACNS)",
  year = "2004",
  month = "June",
  pages = {292--302}
}

Also available form
 http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~angelos/Papers/sqlrand.pdf

There are also a couple of papers on static and dynamic analysis of SQL 
queries (I don't have a citation handy at the moment).
