SQL Injection Scanners

Is common knowledge, every Programmer every once in a while writes SQL query’s. But, are they vulnerable to SQL Injection?

SQL Injection is a technique that exploits a security vulnerability occurring in the database layer of an application. The vulnerability is present when user input is either incorrectly filtered for string literal escape characters embedded in SQL statements or user input is not strongly typed and thereby unexpectedly executed. It is in fact an instance of a more general class of vulnerabilities that can occur whenever one programming or scripting language is embedded inside another.

The people at Security Hacks made a top 15 list of SQL Injection Scanners. Check this small list and start checking your applications (web or other) for vulnerabilities.
