SQLi Troubleshooting

📊 Level: Intermediate
⏱️ Duration: 2 Days
🏷️ Track: AppSec
📋 Prerequisites: Web basics
🖥️ Mode: Online Instructor-Led
📝 Course Description

RCCE students will learn SQL injection vulnerabilities including in-band, blind, out-of-band, and second-order injection techniques, detection methods, and remediation strategies. RCCE students will learn to identify SQL injection vulnerabilities through manual testing and automated scanning, exploit SQL injection to demonstrate data extraction, authentication bypass, and database manipulation, implement remediation using parameterized queries, stored procedures, input validation, and ORM frameworks, configure WAF rules for SQL injection detection, integrate SQL injection testing into CI/CD security pipelines, and conduct code review for SQL injection patterns across application codebases. This diagnostic course focuses on identifying, analyzing, and resolving common failures, misconfigurations, and operational issues. Building on core knowledge, RCCE students will learn systematic troubleshooting methodologies that accelerate root-cause analysis and minimize downtime. Students work through realistic break-fix scenarios that build the diagnostic confidence needed for high-pressure production environments.
