I've been experimenting with Mutillidae as a practice platform for understanding web vulnerabilities, specifically SQL injection attacks. I understand the theory behind SQL injection, but I'm having trouble applying it in real-world scenarios.
Could someone explain how to identify and execute SQL injection on a site like Mutillidae safely? Additionally, what are some best practices for detecting and preventing such vulnerabilities in web applications? Any guidance on tools or techniques that are particularly effective in a testing environment would also be appreciated.
Looking forward to learning more from the community!
