DVWA-SQL INJECTION : LOW Level



A SQL injection attack consists of insertion or "injection" of a SQL query via the input data from the client to the application. A successful SQL injection exploit can read sensitive data from the database, modify database data (Insert/Update/Delete), execute administration operations on the database (such as shutdown the DBMS), recover the content of a given file present on the DBMS file system and in some cases issue commands to the operating system. SQL injection attacks are a type of injection attack, in which SQL commands are injected into data-plane input in order to effect the execution of predefined SQL commands.

The 'id' variable within this PHP script is vulnerable to SQL injection.

There are 5 users in the database, with id's from 1 to 5. Your mission... to steal passwords!
