Re: Pentesting on databases?

[Ramiro Caire <ramiro.caire () gmail com>]

Hi mate,

take a look at:
http://www.symantec.com/connect/articles/secure-mysql-database-design

However, if the database is already running on production environment,
I suggest you use some of these tools:

http://www.ngssecure.com/services/information-security-software/ngs-squirrel-for-sql-server.aspx
http://www.ngssecure.com/services/information-security-software/ngs-squirrel-for-informix.aspx
http://www.ngssecure.com/services/information-security-software/ngs-squirrel-for-sybase-ase.aspx
http://www.ngssecure.com/services/information-security-software/ngs-squirrel-for-oracle.aspx
http://www.ngssecure.com/services/information-security-software/ngs-squirrel-for-db2.aspx

These tools analyze databases looking for security issues,
misconfigurations, etc. Very easy to use and powerful.

Hope this help.

Cheers
Ramiro

Prove to peers and potential employers without a doubt that you can actually do a proper penetration test. IACRB CPT 
and CEPT certs require a full practical examination in order to become certified.
