This presentation shows different possibilities to attack Oracle 10g Express Edition (and Oracle 10g Rel. 1 and Rel. 2). With Oracle 10g Oracle introduced some new security features (e.g. listener protection) which eliminates old attack vectors. But by introducing new features they implemented new bugs and new possibilities like SQL injection, built-in HTTPS-server, etc Bio:Alexander Kornbrust is the founder and CEO of Red-Database-Security GmbH, a company specialized in Oracle security.
