  • yes and no.

    I work as an it support in a small software company, so i do lots of stuff:
    data integration / migration, fixes in our legacy products & websites, and of course fixing printers.

    thats way to complicated explain in detail,
    but just saying IT support doesn’t do it justice (people just think im the guy that tells people to “turn it of and on again” if i leave it at that)

    Instead of telling people directly what i do,
    i just tell them i work in IT, this is what my company does, and i work on these products.




  • smartphones are pretty damn impressive.

    they downright make scifi gizmos like dataslates, or comunicators seem outdated.

    gps navigation arround the world,
    even without cellula reception if you have offline map data.
    and automatic navigation / route planning

    a vast array of communication services be it text sound, or video,
    one on one, as a group, or in a public forum.

    a vast sea of information on every topic immaginable.

    ever improving camera & sensor tech.

    and smartphones do it all in one device small enough to fit in your pocket.

    and i didn’t even mention the computing power & storage that oveshadows some room sized supercomputers of the past

    its an sql injection attack.
    its rather unlikely that it works in a modern app.

    assuming this would work,
    it injects a command in the sql database.

    it is assumed that the app runs a sql querry with the input field as a parameter e.g.
    INSERT INTO "bills" (item, ammount, tip) VALUES ("steak", "20,00 $", "content of the custom tip goes here");

    the semicolon indicates the end of the querry,
    so the the text would cause the app to run an unfinished querry, and then start a new querry that messes up the content of the bills table.
