''SQL Injection has been around for over 10 years, and yet it is still to this day not truly understood by many security professionals and developers. With the recent mass attacks against sites across the world it has again come to the fore of vulnerabilities under the spotlight, however many consider it to only be a data access issue, or parameterized queries to be a panacea. Explore some of the deeper, darker danger areas of SQL Injection, hybrid attacks, and exploiting obscure database functionality, and what we could possibly expect to see next out of this venerable application security issue.''
