Video on how to use SQL injection

SQL injection is a technique that exploits a security vulnerability occurring in the database layer of an application. The vulnerability is present when user input is either incorrectly filtered for string literal escape characters embedded in SQL statements or user input is not strongly typed and thereby unexpectedly executed. It is in fact an instance of a more general class of vulnerabilities that can occur whenever one programming or scripting language is embedded inside another.

"SQL Injection" is subset of the an unverified/unsanitized user input vulnerability ("buffer overflows" are a different subset), and the idea is to convince the application to run SQL code that was not intended. If the application is creating SQL strings naively on the fly and then running them, it's straightforward to create some real surprises.

We'll note that this was a somewhat winding road with more than one wrong turn, and others with more experience will certainly have different -- and better -- approaches. But the fact that we were successful does suggest that we were not entirely misguided.

There have been other papers on SQL injection, including some that are much more detailed, but this one shows the rationale of discovery as much as the process of exploitation.

Times Music - Arogya Mantra Audio - Jagjit Singh

The origins of the ancient healing science known as Ayurveda are lost in cosmic antiquity. According to the ancient text Caraka-Samhita, this "Science of Life and Longevity" is eternal and is revealed in the universe in each of its infinite cycles of creation and destruction. This healing science is generally revealed by great sages or demigods. Occasionally, the Supreme Lord Himself descends as the avatara, Dhanvantari and re-inaugurates the tradition of Ayurveda. This extremely rare appearance of God is recorded in the Vedic literature, The Shrimad Bhagwatam by Sage Shri Vyaasa, of ancient India as the Aarogya Mantra. This mantra is known to be extremely effective and is believed to be a proven remedy for bodily diseases. The vibrations of these chants set right all the functions on a cellular level - harmonizing food, body and creation. Enrich your mental and physical health with Aarogya Mantra, rendered by the legendary Jagjit Singh.

My Amazon telephonic interview - Round1

This is really a very good experience

The interviewer called me after 15 of the scheduled time.

The interview went for 45 minitues and it was like this

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

He started with an interesting question Why are you planning to move ? (This mean what are you expecting from amazon) .

I answered it asusual as most of the people wil tell like challenging environment, blah blah.... (though I have that impression),then he told me that they have highly challenging jobs.

He asked me about the Product that I was working on currently.He asked me a few basic questions about our product and asked only one question on datastructures.

Given a binary tree,how do u find the mirror image of the tree?

After that I asked him,what exactly he does there and what development process they follow.He told me that they will not be having any testing team (Complete responsibility lies on developer :( , perhaps more challenging) and he's a senior software engineer and working for webservices.They are looking for a candidate for a support engineer in the same team.

That's it,after that he told me that there will be one more interview.So I've prepared for the next challenging round.(I'm writing this just after finishing my second interview).
