  1. An investigation into the security features offered by Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition Author: Keletso Nyathi Supervisor: Mr John Ebden Computer Science Department

  2. Project objectives • To study and evaluate the security features on the 10g Enterprise Edition of Oracle • To draw out a conclusion about how secure Oracle databases are. • To suggest possible solutions to database security problems.

  3. Introduction • A database is an integrated aggregation of data usually organised to reflect logical or functional relationships among data elements. • Databases have to be protected from illegal users. • Poor database security is a lead contributor to incidents of identity theft. • My project aims at evaluating the security provided by databases against hackers and trying to come up with possible solutions.

  4. Background Information • Databases have been made available on the Internet to provide fast querying by users. • The growth of e-commerce has led to increased risks of indirect attack on databases. • Recently David Litchfield claims to have found a new class of attack on Oracle called “Dangling Cursor snarfing” that he uses to hack into the system. • Meanwhile Oracle claims that this class of attack is trivial and highly impractical.

  8. Literature Survey. • A paper by David Litchfield entitled “Dangling Cursor Snarfing: A new class of Attack in Oracle”. • Another paper by David Litchfield entitled “Which Database is more secure? Oracle vs. Microsoft”. • Security course offered by Barry Irwin. • Documentation from Oracle about its security. • Database security as well as hacking techniques from the Internet. • Projects from previous years.

  9. Intended Approach • Investigate David Litchfield’s claim against Oracle Database • Investigate some of the security features claimed by Oracle. • For each security feature, I will carry out tests to hack into the database. • Record findings and try to come up with possible solutions in case of failure. • Finally evaluate my findings and draw out a conclusion about the overall security offered by Oracle.

  10. Timeline

  11. Expected outcomes and possible extensions • Derive a conclusion about how secure Oracle is. • If possible, make informed security suggestions for databases. • Acquire a deep understanding of the weaknesses in database security ………………………………………………………………………………………………… • This project can also be carried forward into comparing Oracle against other databases e.g. SQL Server and some open source databases. • Its results might be a clue into finding an effective way to improve database security.
