How to hack unbreakable Oracle servers

[jcdux]

I was reading TheRegister (http://theregister.co.uk/content/4/23979.html) and was a bit shocked about the full details of Oracle attacks.

There is a link to a paper (pdf) (http://www.nextgenss.com/papers/hpoas.pdf) that is..

Litchfield's paper should be required reading for anyone who owns or administers an unbreakable Oracle box.

good post.. though i still dont get it why Oracle still boasts its software is unbreakable when couple of or shall we say numbers of crackers and hackers cracked the software....

Yeah not unbreakable but still, it´s a damn good piece of ware

another update from TheRegister (http://theregister.co.uk/content/4/23990.html)
Oracle Corp has been forced to issue security patches for its 9i Application Server and database management system: products that it had previously claimed were "unbreakable", writes Matthew Aslett.

Anyone claming that anything is unbreakable is kinda dumb if you ask me. Except for maybe a piece of titanium, but that can be broken under the right conditions also....

it must've been a publicity stunt. Oracle couldn't have really thought they'd reached nirvana.


Still Oracle is pretty good, but a bear to configure.
