"Hey guys, let's get this conversation started. SQL Injection is like the OG vulnerability that never gets old - even with all the advancements in security, we still see it pop up in the wild. I've noticed it's a particularly popular target for script kiddies and even some pro hackers, so let's dive into the basics and see if we can't shed some light on prevention methods."

"yooo, still crazy how many devs out there don't know SQLi from a million miles away. Always a good reminder to keep those params sanitized and to never trust user input"

"Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. SQL injection is a no-brainer for anyone with basic knowledge of coding. You gotta make sure your devs know their stuff or else you'll be the one getting 'injected'."

"Lol, I remember learning about this in my early pentesting days. SQLi is still super prevalent, especially in outdated PHP and SQL systems. Anyone have some tips on how to teach noobs about proper SQL injection prevention?"

"Dude, I'm still amazed by how many devs out there think SQLi is a thing of the past. Just recently, I stumbled upon a vulnerability in a popular open-source project that was patched like 5 years ago, but the fix never made it into their production environment. Guess you could say old habits die hard"

"Yup, SQLi's still a go-to for many noobs. I had a client who got pwned by a script kiddie who exploited a simple ' or 1=1' injection – they're just too easy to find. Basic OWASP rules still ain't followed by many dev ops teams"

"Dude, SQLi's still a thing? Can you believe it? I had a client with a WordPress site that got owned via a simple comment field injection like 2 years ago"

"yoooo, still crazy how many devs out there think they can 'sanitize' their way out of SQL injection. Bottom line, if you're querying user input straight to the Database, you're asking for trouble. Time to switch to Parameterized Queries, folks"

"Still blows my mind how many devs out there still fall into this basic trap, especially considering how widespread awareness has been for years. It's almost like they're trying to get their site pwned just for kicks. Anyone else encounter any rookie mistakes like this?"

"Lol, still gotta love how old-school SQLi is. But tbh, it's crazy how many devs still fall for it. Has anyone seen any recent notable cases where SQLi was used in a breach?"

"Lol, yea this one's been around for ages. Still amazes me how many devs still don't grasp the importance of sanitizing inputs. SQLi's a rookie mistake, gotta have some basic security 101 under your belt"

Yo, SQL Injection is still a thing? I remember when I was starting out, we used to see it pop up in low-budget web apps all the time. Still gotta keep an eye out for it in older systems, I guess.

"Yo, still shocking how many devs ignore the fundamentals of SQL injection. Remember the old days of OWASP Top 10 and how it seemed like every other exploit was a SQLi? Guess not much has changed"

"Yea, you'd think devs would've learned their lesson by now, but SQLi is still a common issue. I've seen it happen in even the smallest projects, usually due to copy-pasting code or not sanitizing inputs properly. Still a good reminder for all the noobs out there"

"Dude, SQL injection is still so prevalent even in modern apps. I'm pretty sure I saw a bug bounty report last month where a dev disclosed an SQLi vuln in a popular Discord bot – crazy stuff. Anyone else got some horror stories about SQL injection?"
