Challenge
Getting Started in the Lab Environment
Here are the initial instructions and explanation of the lab environment. Read this while your environment is busy creating itself from nothing. Yes, this violates physics; we know. How fun!
Challenge
Inject Commands into SQL Requests
Here you’ll learn how to identify a field which has a SQL injection vulnerability. You'll then use that field to modify the SQL query being sent to a database.
Challenge
Change Logic in SQL Syntax
Here you'll be more specific with your injected code. You’ll take known information about a user (e.g. email address) and log in as that user without knowing their password.
