SQL Injection 2.0: SQL Injection 2.0: Bigger, Badder, Faster…and More Dangerous Than Ever (Webinar)
Thursday, July 31, 2008 2:00 am
Singapore Standard Time (GMT +08:00, Philippines)
SQL Injection has existed as a very real – and documented – threat to enterprise security for years. While the concept is far from novel, the techniques, tools, and scope of SQL Injection attacks is growing exponentially – and at a rate that far outpaces traditional, time-consuming defense mechanisms such as code review. Need proof? A quick scan of the industry headlines produces a lengthy list of international SQL Injection victims, including the United Nations and UK Civil Service.
Join Amichai Shulman, CTO of Imperva and Director of the Application Defense Center (ADC), as he pulls back the covers on the next generation of SQL Injection attacks and provides directions on how you can protect your organization against these increasingly sophisticated and dangerous threats. Mr. Shulman will highlight how hackers are launching non-customized attack code via “botnets” and Google searches to distribute malware with lightning-fast speed and precision efficiency. This educational webinar will also feature live demonstrations of several different types of SQL Injection attacks. Specific topics that will be covered during the webinar include:
SQL Injection Cocktails
Mass SQL Injection Attacks and Google Hacking
SQL Injection Automation Tools
SQL Injection DoS Attacks
Lateral SQL Injection and other Database-Related SQL Injection Attacks

The real estate industry isn’t doing that good in the US right now. Property owners won’t be getting as much as they could if they sell their properties now. Some could no longer afford to pay their mortgages which later on lead to foreclosure. There are some that couldn’t pay their taxes for their property so the government garnishes their property.
So probably you would say that investing in US real estate is not a good idea at the moment. Well… it really depends. One person might see that as a problem but another person might see it as an opportunity. Some real estate heavy hitters would readily jump into current real estate market buying properties left and right since this would be the best time to buy because the price is low. These are usually the people who somehow have enough money to invest and stay with it long term either by just having the place rented out, fixing it up and wait months and even years for the market to recover and sell the property at a profit.
There are lots strategies you can use if you want to get into the real estate business either as an investor or an agent. For investors, these are the times when short selling might not just work. Short selling used to be very effective back then when the real estate condition was still at its peak. Short selling involved scouting for and buying a good property with potential, fix a few things here and there, then sell it in just a matter of days and weeks. Some people have easily made anywhere from US$10,000 to US$50,000 to others as much as US$250,000 through short selling. But then again this might not work with the current state of the real estate market.
Nouveau Riche is French for “newly rich”. These are people who became rich not because they inherited their wealth. Nouveau Riche also happens to be the name of a company based in Scottsdale, Arizona who does specialized training via their Nouveau Riche University for those who would want to get into the real estate business in the US.
There has been a lot of feedback on Nouveau Riche’s program. There are some who have high praises with their program and that it had helped them a lot while there are also others that commented that the whole program is scam or a rip off.
So if you want to get into the real estate business and want to know the tricks of the trade of the industry, you might want to attend one of their free seminars that orient you about their program. Then decide for yourself whether their program will be suitable for you or not.

Yes, your eyes aren’t deceiving you. It really is REO and not SEO for Search Engine Optimization. So what on earth is REO? REO simply refers to Real Estate Owned by banks after foreclosure.
It’s no secret, the real estate market has changed. Foreclosures are up 115% over last year and industry analysts predict that this is only the tip of the iceberg. The Mortgage Bankers Association of America has predicted that there will be 2.2 million foreclosures in 2008, that’s more than double the number of foreclosures in 2007. Many industry experts predict that there will be millions of foreclosures over the next 6 years while the real estate market struggles to recover.
The numbers are absolutely staggering and financial institutions nationwide are scrambling to find agents who understand REO (bank foreclosure) to list and sell their foreclosed properties
With that in mind you should also consider that one’s loss is also another’s gain. As such not treat this as a problem but instead look at it as an opportunity.
How to do REO bank owned properties? That is just one of the many questions that the REO Renegades Home Study Course will answer. This REO training showing you a step-by-step system for listing and selling bank foreclosures!
REO home study course will teach you tried and tested strategies used to get started in this lucrative business niche quickly and avoid making costly rookie mistakes.
