Serialized SQL InjectionGoal: ToMergecomplexresultsets in a single showablefieldXML serializationfunctionsallowtoconvert a resultsetinto a oneXML string.It´spossibletodownloadbigamount of data with single and simple injections.

SQL ServerFOR XML: Retrieves data as a single stringrepresentingan XML tree. RAW: Mandatory option. Shows the information converting each row of the result set in an XML element in the form <row />.BINARY BASE64:The query will fail if we find any BINARY data type column (containing images, or passwords) if this option is not explicitly specified.union select '1','2','3',(select * from sysusers for xml raw, binary base64) XMLSCHEMA: obtains the whole table structure, including the data types, column names and other constraints.Described by DaniKachakil

Blind AttacksAttacker injects code but can´t access directly to the data.However this injection changes the behavior of the web application. Then the attacker looks for differences between true code injections (1=1) and false code injections (1=2) in the response pages to extract data.Blind SQL InjectionBiind Xpath InjectionBlind LDAP Injection

Blind SQL Injection AttacksAttacker injects:“True where clauses”“False where clauses“Ex:Program.php?id=1 and 1=1Program.php?id=1 and 1=2Program doesn’t return any visible data from database or data in error messages.The attacker can´t see any data extracted from the database.

Blind SQL Injection AttacksAttacker analyzes the response pages looking for differences between “True-Answer Page” and “False-Answer Page”:Different hashesDifferent html structureDifferent patterns (keywords)Different linear ASCII sums“Different behavior”By example: Response Time

Blind SQL Injection AttacksIf any difference exists, then:Attacker can extract all information from databaseHow? Using “booleanization”MySQL:Program.php?id=1 and 100>(ASCII(Substring(user(),1,1)))“True-Answer Page” or “False-Answer Page”?MSSQL:Program.php?id=1 and 100>(Select top 1 ASCII(Substring(name,1,1))) from sysusers)Oracle:Program.php?id=1 and 100>(Select ASCII(Substr(username,1,1))) from all_users where rownum<=1)

Time-basedBlind SQL Injectionusing heavy queries

Time-Based Blind SQL InjectionIn scenarios with no differences between “True-Answer Page” and “False-Answer Page”, time delays can be used.Injection forces a delay in the response page when the condition injected is True. - Delay functions:SQL Server: waitforOracle: dbms_lock.sleepMySQL: sleep or Benchmark FunctionPostgres: pg_sleepEx:; if (exists(select * fromusers)) waitfordelay '0:0:5’

Exploit for Solar Empire Web Game

Time-Based Blind SQL InjectionWhat about databases engines without delay functions, i.e., MS Access, Oracle connection without PL/SQL support, DB2, etc…?Can we still perform an exploitation of Time-Based Blind SQL Injection Attacks?

“Where-Clause” execution orderSelect “whatever “From whateverWhere condition1 and condition2- Condition1 lasts 10 seconds- Condition2 lasts 100 secondsWhich condition should be executed first?

Time-Based Blind SQL Injectionusing Heavy QueriesAttacker can perform an exploitation delaying the “True-answer page” using a heavy query.It depends on how the database engine evaluates the where clauses in the query.There are two types of database engines:Databases without optimization processDatabases with optimization process

Time-Based Blind SQL Injectionusing Heavy QueriesAttacker could inject a heavy Cross-Join condition for delaying the response page in True-Injections. The Cross-join injection must be heavier than the other condition.Attacker only have to know or to guess the name of a table with select permission in the database.Example in MSSQL:Program.php?id=1 and (SELECT count(*) FROM sysusers AS sys1, sysusers as sys2, sysusers as sys3, sysusers AS sys4, sysusers AS sys5, sysusers AS sys6, sysusers AS sys7, sysusers AS sys8)>1 and 300>(select top 1 ascii(substring(name,1,1)) from sysusers)
