What is the Database? 
  Datbase is an application that stores a collection of Data.Database 
offers various APIs for creating, accessing and managing the data it 
holds. And database(DB) servers can be integrated with our web 
development so that we can pick up the things we want from the database 
without much difficulties.

Database is a place that stores username,passwords and more details.  
Database should be secured.  But providing high level security is not 
possible for all sites(much costlier or poor programming ). So Database 
of many websites is insecure or vulnerable(easily hackable). 
 
Some List of Database are: 
 
<ul>
<li>DB servers,</li>
<li> MySQL(Open source), </li>
<li>MSSQL, </li>
<li>MS-ACCESS, </li>
<li>Oracle, </li>
<li>Postgre SQL(open source), </li>
<li>SQLite,</li>
</ul>
 What is SQL injection? 
      SQL injection is Common and famous method of hacking  at present 
.  Using this method an unauthorized person can access the database of 
the website.  Attacker can get all details from the Database. 
 
What an attacker can do? 
<ul class="ticlist">
<li>ByPassing Logins</li>
<li>Accessing secret data</li>
<li>Modifying contents of website</li>
<li>Shutting down the My SQL server</li>
</ul>

What is Social Engineering?</h3>
Social engineering is the act of 
manipulating people into performing actions or divulging confidential 
information, rather than by breaking in or using technical cracking 
techniques.[1] While similar to a confidence trick or simple fraud, the
 term typically applies to trickery or deception for the purpose of 
information gathering, fraud, or computer system access; in most cases 
the attacker never comes face-to-face with the victim. 
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7300937913117639331" name="more"></a> 
 
"Social engineering" as an act of psychological manipulation was 
popularized by hacker-turned-consultant Kevin Mitnick. The term had 
previously been associated with the social sciences, but its usage has 
caught on among computer professionals. 
Example 1: You receive an e-mail where the sender and the manager or someone on behalf of the support department of your bank. 
 
In the message he says that the Internet Banking service is presenting a
 problem and that this problem can be corrected if you run the 
application attached to this message. 
 
The implementation of this application presents a screen similar the one
 you use to access bank account, waiting for you to type your password. 
In fact, this application is prepared to steal your password to access 
the bank account and sends it to the attacker.

Example 2: You receive an e-mail saying that your computer is infected 
by a virus. The message suggests that you install a tool available on an
 Internet site, to eliminate the virus from your computer. 
 
The real function of this tool and does not eliminate a virus, but I 
give someone access to your computer and all data stored on it. 
 
Example 3: a stranger calls your house and says it is the technical support of your ISP. 
In this connection he says that his connection to the Internet is 
presenting a problem and then, ask your password to fix it. If you give 
your password, this so-called technical can perform a multitude of 
malicious activities, using your access account 
Internet and therefore such activities relating to its name. 
 
<h4>
Practical Examples:</h4>
Retail Paging Systems 
--------------------- 
Wal-Mart store phones have clearly marked buttons for the paging system. Wal-Mart is 
the exception, not the rule. So how do you get on the paging system to have a little 
fun when you're bored out of your mind shopping with your girlfriend? Social 
engineering, my whipped friend. Find a phone and dial an extension, preferably the 
store op. The key here is to become a harried employee, saying something similar 
to..."This is Bill in shoes. What's the paging extension?" More often than not, 
you'll get the extension without another word. Now, get some by saying something 
sweet over the intercom. 
 
Airport White Courtesy Phones 
----------------------------- 
Imagine you've already been stripped searched and you're waiting for your delayed 
flight. Naturally, you gravitate to a phone. Is it white? Then you've got a free 
call right in front of you. Just pick up to get the op. "This is Bill at Southwest, 
Gate A5. We're swamped and our phones are tied. Can I get an outside line?" If 
the phone does not have DTMF, or the op wants to dial the call for you, do not call 
a number related to you. 
 
Hotels 
------ 
Hotels hold such promise. Some hotels have voice mail for each room, guests 
receiving a PIN when they check in. Hotels also have "guest" phones; phones outside 
of rooms that connect only to rooms or the front desk. Pick up a guest phone, make 
like a friendly guest and say, "I forgot my PIN. Could I get it again? Room XXX." 
Knowing the registered name of the target room helps, for the Hotel and Restaurant 
Management Degree Program graduate may ask for it. 
 
Do not follow through with the next social engineering example. Or, like the author, 
try it on a friend. Go to the front desk and tell the attendant that you've locked 
your key (card) in the laundromat, in your room, lost it, etc. Do not try this with 
the attendant that checked you in. And again, do not enter someone's room without 
permission. 
 
 
Calling Technical Support 
------------------------- 
So you've found a new-fangled computerized phone and you want to learn more about it. 
Do the same thing you do when you have trouble with your AOL - call tech support. 
First, do a little planning (after getting the tech support number off of the phone 
or the web). Get some info on the phone, like phone number, model number, other 
identifying numbers, etc. Also, know the name of the facility in which the phone is 
located. Now that you've got some ammo, you're ready to make the call. Posing as an 
employee of the facility, call tech support and make up a problem for the phone 
you've identified. Act a little dumb and be apologetic, acting like you don't want 
to waste their time. All the while, pumping them for information - "I hate to bug 
you for this, but <insert problem here>." <You'll get some info from tech support 
here.> <Build on what you've learned and curiously ask another question.> And so 
on until you reach the point where you can feel that it's time to end the call. 
Occasionally acting amazed at their knowledge may be helpful.

Methods of Social Engineering</h3>

Phishing 
Phishing is a technique of fraudulently obtaining private information. 
Typically, the phisher sends an e-mail that appears to come from a 
legitimate business — a bank, or credit card company — requesting 
"verification" of information and warning of some dire consequence if it
 is not provided. The e-mail usually contains a link to a fraudulent web
 page that seems legitimate — with company logos and content — and has a
 form requesting everything from a home address to an ATM card's PIN. 
 
For example, 2003 saw the proliferation of a phishing scam in which 
users received e-mails supposedly from eBay claiming that the user's 
account was about to be suspended unless a link provided was clicked to 
update a credit card (information that the genuine eBay already had). 
Because it is relatively simple to make a Web site resemble a legitimate
 organization's site by mimicking the HTML code, the scam counted on 
people being tricked into thinking they were being contacted by eBay and
 subsequently, were going to eBay's site to update their account 
information. By spamming large groups of people, the "phisher" counted 
on the e-mail being read by a percentage of people who already had 
listed credit card numbers with eBay legitimately, who might respond. 
 
Vishing or Phone Phishing: 
This technique uses an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system to 
recreate a legit sounding copy of a bank or other institution's IVR 
system. The slave is prompted to call in to the "bank" via a phone 
number provided in order to "verify" information. 
 
Baiting 
Baiting is like the real-world Trojan Horse that uses physical media and
 relies on the curiosity or greed of the slave. In this attack, the 
attacker leaves a malware infected floppy disc, CD ROM, or USB flash 
drive in a location sure to be found, gives it a legitimate looking and 
curiosity-piquing label, and simply waits for the slave to use the 
device. 
 
Quid pro quo 
Quid pro quo means something for something: 
 
* An attacker calls random numbers at a company claiming to be calling 
back from technical support. Eventually they will hit someone with a 
legitimate problem, grateful that someone is calling back to help them. 
The attacker will "help" solve the problem and in the process have the 
user type commands that give the attacker access or launch malware. 
 
* In a 2003 information security survey, 90% of office workers gave 
researchers what they claimed was their password in answer to a survey 
question in exchange for a cheap pen. Similar surveys in later years 
obtained similar results using chocolates and other cheap lures, 
although they made no attempt to validate the passwords.
