aidSQL is a PHP application provided for detecting security holes in your websites. It is a modular application, meaning that you can develop your very own plugins for SQL injection detection & exploitation. Sample usage of aidsql: ./aidSQL --url=www.sample123.com We find it similar to nikto, whatweb and others. One good feature is that we can get a reverse basic shell once exploited. It also has a simple shell script which will run aidSQL and do some checking for PHP. You can also Google through this application and look up for sites. It also includes a primitive crawler.

Rapper Lil Wayne has become the latest victim of web hackers when his Twitter account was compromised by an internet prankster. The 28-year-old hip hop star has suspended his Twitter account after the hacker sent a number of objectionable messages to his fans and followers, reported Contactmusic. The 'Lollipop' hitmaker's page was illegally accessed on January 16 and rude messages were sent to his celebrity pals which included 50 Cent, Soulja Boy and The Game. The hacker also posted explicit jibes about the rapper's recent spell in prison on weapons possession charges.

Military "cyber weaponry" will become commonplace this century, but it will be unlikely to deter attacks by "hacktivists" and criminal gangs, and could easily be used for state-sponsored cyber attacks instead, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development warns. The British authors of the study, which is released today, also caution that "lurid language" and lobbying by technology firms distort the government's plans to protect Britain against cyber attacks. Professor Peter Sommer of the LSE and Dr Ian Brown of Oxford University's internet institute were commissioned by the OECD for one of a series of investigations into potential "future global shocks". Their report comes at a time of heightened awareness of online attacks following hacking protests against companies caught up in the WikiLeaks controversy. In response to other hacking attacks from groups inside China and Russia, military preparations have begun to ga...

Each week another celebrity launches a legal action against the paper, generating a fresh batch of damaging allegations that Rupert Murdoch's media empire could do without. The Observer has established that at least six people have issued proceedings against the paper, with potentially scores more in the pipeline.

Until this case is resolved – the court of appeal is expected to hand down a judgment in May – many outstanding issues cannot be addressed. "It's vital that the court of appeal acts to br...
