SQL Injection Attack Detection Using Machine Learning Algorithm

Abstract

One of the most widely recognised cyber-assaults against web-based application weaknesses is the structured query language injection attack (SQLIA), which is utilised to execute unlawful information control language, evade confirmation strategies, and access confined information. Some published systematic reviews were considered in this area. Older and more current papers in the field are often included in more recent systematic reviews. As a result, all of the publications we looked at were recent. I used data from 2012 to 2020 for the present analysis. There are a few techniques and systems for identifying and forestalling SQLIA, including encryption, XML, design coordinating, parsing, and machine learning. Guarded coding is utilised to apply Machine Learning (ML) procedure, which has been shown to be significant for SQLIA alleviation. The machine learning approach needs a ton of information to prepare models really and support a few attack types. An extremely difficult visually impaired SQL injection attack might be relieved utilizing ML procedures. An exploratory examination of Logistic Regression (LRN), Stochastic Gradient Descent (SDG), Sequential Minimal Optimization (SMO), Bayes Network (BNK), Instance-Based Learner (IBK), Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), Naive Bayes (NBS), and J48 was completed in the Waikato Climate for Information Investigation. The presentation of the regulated learning grouping calculations was surveyed utilizing Wait (70%) and 10-crease Cross Validation appraisal methods to decide the best calculation. According to the findings of the Cross Validation approach, SMO, IBK, and J48 had accuracy values of 98.7785%, 98.4285%, and 98.2985%, respectively, while the Hold-Out technique revealed accuracy values of 98.7956%, 98.1526%, and 100 for SMO, IBK, and J48. In contrast, IBK and J48 needed 10.15 seconds, 0.06 seconds, and 14.12 seconds, respectively, to create their models using the Cross Validation approach SMO, whereas they needed 9.71 seconds, 0.16 seconds, and 14.28 seconds, respectively, to develop their models using the Hold-Out technique SMO. According to the results, IBK was selected as the classifier for SQLIA detection and prevention since it required the least amount of time to develop a model using the Cross Validation approach and performed better than other candidates in terms of accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. For the best algorithm selection for predictive analytics, various performance assessment measures are also crucial in addition to accuracy.

Towards Artificial Intelligence-Based Cybersecurity: The Practices and ChatGPT Generated Ways to Combat Cybercrime

“…The field of cybersecurity contributes to designing a digital environment free of loopholes and not allowing unauthorized persons to enter this environment. These mechanisms can only be achieved with artificial intelligence techniques that play an influential role in changing and controlling cyber-attacks [20][21][22][23][24][25]. Therefore, the existence of artificial intelligence and effective cybersecurity measures lead to the establishment of a proper digital environment [26][27][28][29][30][31].…”

The Significance of Machine Learning and Deep Learning Techniques in Cybersecurity: A Comprehensive Review

“…However, deep learning measures the performance of systems in addressing a problem, whether the examples are one-or multi-dimensional. Scholars are actively trying to find solutions to many issues in the field of cybersecurity by using deep learning methods [85][86][87]. These methods obtain a very high accuracy of more than 97% in identifying attack messages and blocking their display on vehicle screens.…”

Improving ML Accuracy in SQL Injection Detection using NLP and Feature Engineering.

“…Machine learning algorithms, including both classic and deep learning models, are used to analyze and identify security vulnerabilities by evaluating input validation features. SQL injection attacks (SQLIA), which are widely recognized as one of the most common and dangerous cyber assaults on web-based applications.For that, the authors of the study [6] focused on reviewing various techniques and systems for detecting and preventing SQLIA, including encryption, XML, design matching, parsing, and machine learning. The study evaluates the performance of different machine learning algorithms, including Logistic Regression (LRN), Stochastic Gradient Descent (SDG), Sequential Minimal Optimization (SMO), Bayes Network (BNK), Instance-Based Learner (IBK), Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), Naive Bayes (NBS), and J48.…”

“…Confidentiality, integrity and availability considered as the safety valve in web applications. So, any focus on website functionality rather than security will cause susceptibilities in the web application, which allow the attacker to access unauthorized data [11], any stolen data will lose of confidentiality, any ability to modified in an unexpected data will lose integrity, and also Loss of availability takes place when denial of service is caused by an attacker.Based on OWASP's compilation of the top 10 web application attacks from 2013 to 2021, SQL injection remains the most prevalent type of attack targeting websites [6]. To avoid and mitigate SQL injection attacks, [9] we must know how it works and the different ways available to implement the SQL injection attack?…”
