Abstract

One of the top 10, 2017 attacks in the world is SQL injection. Though there are a number of different approaches available to prevent the SQL injection attack, it’s considered as a serious security threat to Web applications, even today. SQL injection employs a code injection technique of hacking login credentials or other information that destroys your database. In this paper, we presented a new reversed insertion algorithm using a simple technique which prevents almost all types of SQL injection. This proposed model is implemented and tested by developing a prototype using SQL map. The proposed model shows a high level of security with an accuracy of 92%.
