Urban Sql injection. WIN!
This just made my morning.
Translation for my non-nerd friends:
+ camera reads license plates
+ text of license plate is stored in a database
+ this guys covers his license plate w/ special text that hacks databases (“drop database table”)
+ … so if the camera reads this guy’s license plate and tried to add the text to the database, there’s a chance the database gets deleted (“dropped”) if it’s not properly protected
+ ha!
For another nerd-version of this, see this XKCD comic.
