Breakable: Secure Your Oracle Servers By Breaking Into Them
David Litchfield, NGS Software & Mark Litchfield, NGS Software
A new course designed and taught by world renown security vulnerability researcher David Litchfield.
Overview:
Never has the need for understanding Oracle database security been so great as it is today as the boundaries between networks become less defined and web applications provide direct inroads through any firewalls and into the backend. This course will teach you how to hack into Oracle database servers; only by truly grasping the mechanics of attacks can a complete and effective defense be built. We will cover all aspects of breaking into Oracle database and application servers covering such topics as
- PLSQL Injection
- Abusing Triggers
- Defeating Virtual Private Databases
- Defeating Oracle Label Security
- Indirect Privilege Escalation
- Buffer Overflows
- Local Attacks
- Hacking the Authentication Process
- Hacking the TNS Listener
- Hacking the XML Database
- Hacking Oracle Application Server
- Hacking an EAL4 Certified Database
- and Much, Much More
Prerequisites
A prior knowledge of Oracle would be useful but not necessary.
Who Should Take the Course
Anyone interested in Oracle Database Security
