Sumit Siddarth (Sid) has just published a really good whitepaper about “[1] Hacking Oracle from the Web“.This is the most comprehensive published collection of different techniques for attacking Oracle from the web. Sid spent a lot of time composing the different techniques mentioned in various presentations and whitepapers.

Sid describes various techniques like data extraction (inband techniques like union or error messages, out-of-band techniques like heavy queries, blind, …), privilege escalation (sys.kupp$proc, dbms_repcat_rpc and dbms_export_extension)  and OS code execution.

Well done Sid.
