Attacking a MySQL Database – SQL Injection Analysis Using Wireshark | Cybersecurity Lab Walkthrough

In this video, I walk you through a real-world SQL Injection attack analysis using Wireshark and a recorded PCAP file. This hands-on lab simulates how a malicious actor exploits vulnerabilities in a MySQL database—step by step—all within a controlled, ethical hacking environment. What you’ll learn in this video: How to analyze network traffic using Wireshark How SQL Injection (SQLi) attacks are executed How attackers extract system info, tables, and password hashes The importance of secure coding practices and database hardening How to decode password hashes using CrackStation Skills covered: Network forensics Packet analysis Web application security SQLi detection techniques CyberOps tools and techniques Tools used: Wireshark CyberOps Workstation VM SQL_Lab.pcap file Crackstation.net (password hash cracker) 🔐 DISCLAIMER: This video is for educational purposes only. All activities shown were performed in a secure and isolated lab environment.
