Hacking Oracle PL/SQL

David 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

• Understanding PL/SQL Vulnerabilities
  Cursor Snarfing Vulnerabilities
  PL/SQL Injection
  Auxillary Function Injection
  Cursor Injection Attacks
  Java Injection
  Lateral SQL Injection via SYSDATE and DATE data (*new discovery)
  Abusing Triggers To Gain Control
  Bypassing VPD
  Data exfiltration
  Exploiting Oracle Application Server and mod_plsql

Prerequisites
