SQL Injection Attacks - Testing Vulnerabilities - Validating Input - Handling Exceptions - Hashing Passwords - Encrypting Connection Strings

A new article in the September 2004 issue of MSDN Magazine talks about SQL Injection attacks and how you can test for the vulnerabilities and avoid them by validating user input and handing website exceptions.

The article goes a little further and discusses password hashing and how to encrypt a connection string for your web.config file.

Experienced developers will find the article old hat, but if you are new to SQL Injection Attacks and .NET Security, it is a great primer.

The magazine article is located
