Comparison of SQL Injection Detection and Prevention Tools based on Attack Type and Deployment Requirements

SQL injection is a type of attack which the attacker adds Structured Query Language code to a web form input box to gain access or make changes to data. SQL injection vulnerability allows an attacker to flow commands directly to a web application's underlying database and destroy functionality or confidentiality. Researchers have proposed different tools to detect and prevent this vulnerability. In this paper we present all SQL injection attack types and also different tools which can detect or prevent these attacks. Finally we compared these tools against attack types and deployment requirements. Keyword: SQL Injection Attacks, detection, prevention, tool, comparison.
