In this article, we dive into the basics of LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol)—a powerful protocol used to manage directory information like user authentication, authorization, and centralized account management in IT systems. 🌐👨💻
We also explore LDAP Injection, a common security vulnerability 🛡️ where attackers manipulate LDAP queries to:
⚠️ Bypass authentication
⚠️ Access unauthorized data
⚠️ Modify directory entries
Learn how these attacks work, the risks they pose, and, most importantly, how to protect your systems with secure coding practices like input sanitization and parameterized queries. ✅💻
Whether you’re an IT professional, developer, or just curious about cybersecurity, this article is your crash course on LDAP and LDAP Injection! 🚀✨
