This paper provides an overview of the two main methods by which SQL servers are hacked and abused. The first method consists of weak or nonexistent DBA passwords. One of the most sought-after DBA accounts is the sa account used by MS SQL Server. This is mainly because MS SQL Server includes several very powerful extended stored procedures that give a DBA[md]or a hacker[md]full access to the server's file system. The second method of attack is via SQL injection techniques that abuse poor programming or improper configuration on the SQL server to allow a hacker to access, overwrite, or delete information in the data server.
