SQL Server Exploitation, Escalation, and Pilfering

Presented at AppSec USA 2012, Oct. 26, 2012, 1 p.m. (45 minutes)

During this presentation attendees will be introduced to lesser known, yet significant vulnerabilities in SQL Server implementations related to common trust relationships, misconfigurations, and weak default settings. The issues that will be covered are often leveraged by attackers to gain unauthorized access to high value systems, applications, and sensitive data. An overview of each issue, common vectors of attack, and manual techniques will be covered. Finally newly created Metasploit modules and TSQL scripts will be demonstrated that help automate the attacks. This presentation will be valuable to penetration testers who are looking for faster ways to gain access to critical data and systems. Additionally, it should be worth while for developers and database administrators who are interested in gaining a better understanding of how to protect their applications and databases from these attacks.
