Protecting Your MySQL Database From SQL Injection Attacks With GreenSQL

SQL injection attacks can allow hackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands on your database through your Web site. To avoid these attacks, every piece of data supplied by a user on a Web form, through HTTP Post or CGI parameters, or other means, must be validated to not contain information that is not expected. GreenSQL is a firewall for SQL -- it sits between your Web site and MySQL database and decides which SQL statements should and should not be executed. At least that's the idea -- in execution, I found some open doors. Do you want to know how you can protect your website's MySQL server from SQL injection attacks? Then read the following article which reviews GreenSQL, a proxy which guards against these types of attacks.
