SQL Penetration Testing

SQL Penetration Testing Consulting Services

At Tanner Security, we find weaknesses in your database systems through SQL Penetration Testing to protect your applications from SQL Injection (SQLi) attacks. Our goal is to safeguard your sensitive data, ensure compliance, and defend against real-world threats that could compromise your critical business information.

What is SQL Penetration Testing?      

SQL penetration testing is a thorough security check that uncovers weaknesses in how your applications interact with your database. Our team focuses on finding SQL Injection vulnerabilities, a common attack method where hackers can manipulate database queries to access sensitive data. If not addressed, these vulnerabilities could let cybercriminals steal, change, or delete important information.

  • Get administrative access to a database.
  • Execute malicious code remotely to take over the system
  • Impact compliance with personal data protection regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, or PCI-DSS.

Our Approach in SQL Penetration Testing

At Tanner Security, the approach towards SQL Penetration Testing is comprehensive and systematic, encompassing the following.

  1. Reconnaissance and discovery: At this stage, our team tries to identify entry points that might be vulnerable to SQL Injection. This includes forms in applications, URLs, APIs, and any other fields that interact with your database and use user input.
  2. Manual and automated testing: Using leading automated tools with supplementing manual techniques, we simulate a series of SQL Injection attacks in ways that include:
  • In-band SQLi: It is also known as Classic SQL Injection and uses the very same channel employed for communications between the application and the database.
  • Blind SQLi: Testing without getting any direct response, relying on indirect hints for system exploitation.
  • Out-of-band SQLi: Utilizing different channels for vulnerability detection that are not directly visible during an in-band attack.
  1. Exploitation: Once we identify the vulnerabilities, we measure their severity by simulating an attack. This also involves verifying whether an intruder can extract sensitive data, modify database contents, or escalate privileges within your environment.
  2. Risk Assessment and Reporting: At the end of the penetration test, our report will include a detailed finding highlighting:
  • The vulnerabilities we identified.
  • The potential impact of these vulnerabilities if exploited.
  • Actionable recommendations to mitigate and resolve these security gaps.
