There are quite a few sql injection tools around, Pangolin is one of the most sophisticated blind SQL injetion tool I have come across, you can find it here :Pangolin Enjoy
What was theoretically feasible has been practically tested : "BIND used fully randomized source port range, i.e. around 64000 ports. Two attacking servers, connected to the attacked one via GigE link, were used, each one attacked 1-2 ports with full ID range. Usually attacking server is able to send about 40-50 thousands fake replies before remote server returns the correct one, so if port was matched probability of the successful poisoning is more than 60%. Attack took about half of the day, i.e. a bit less than 10 hours."
Here is the white paper and the slides to Mark Dowd & Alexander Sotirov Talk "How to Impress Girls with Browser Memory Protection Bypasses" - a must read :
Especially the whitepaper has some interesting details.
Who am I to disagree : I think the lack of quality only partially has to be accounted to the prices being paid for 0day, 0day in terms of bugs are rarely being presented at conferences. I think the security market has become crowded and noisy, press is jumping more and more on it security over the last 5 years and have not been helping to increase quality but sensationalism. See DNS bug vs. SNMPv3 bug. I also think that time is increasingly getting spare to prepare for such conferences (this implies research) for every researcher there are 5+n consultants. Anyways that's the reason I have not been at BH or Defcon this year - last year really sucked.
PS. The 100k price tag for an SSH 0day is too low by the way.
After the dns + evilgrade fiasco I hope that insecure auto update functions are taken as serious as they should always have been Back in 2006 I warned about it when reporting that Zango Adware was downloading and executing udaptes without checking for authenticity. Zango fixed it eventually, my scenario I illustrated back then however was seen as unlikely event. Fast Forward 2 years - oops.
What is of more concern is that adware update process seems to be more "secure" in 2006 than adobe acrobat is in 2008. ouch.
