SQL Injection Attack Protection – Block Malicious Requests Instantly

Problem Statement:

Many websites remain vulnerable to SQL injection attacks, which can result in:

• Data theft through unauthorized access
• Database corruption due to malicious queries
• Website defacement by attackers modifying data
• Performance issues or downtime caused by large SQL injections

While some hosting providers offer built-in SQL injection protection, many do not actively block or notify website owners of these attacks. This script ensures both prevention and real-time alerts.

Purpose of the Extension:

This script acts as a first line of defense against SQL injection attempts by blocking and isolating potential threats before they reach your website. It also helps you stay informed about hacking attempts with email alerts.

Features:

• Blocks SQL injection attempts at the .htaccess level before they reach your application
• Redirects malicious requests to a separate PHP file with no connection to your site
• Email notifications with details of the attack, including IP and location of the hacker
• Lightweight and server-friendly—no impact on website performance
• Compatible with all PHP-based websites, including OpenCart, WordPress, Joomla, and custom PHP applications
• Quick installation with minimal configuration needed
• Works seamlessly on most hosting servers without additional requirements

How to Use:

1. Upload the provided .htaccess file to your website’s root directory.
2. Modify the PHP alert file to include your email address.
3. The .htaccess file automatically blocks suspicious URLs and redirects them to the PHP alert script.
4. Receive email notifications whenever an attack attempt is detected.

Benefits:

✅ Prevents SQL injection attacks before they reach your site
✅ No need for database connection or code changes in your application
✅ Instant email alerts to track hacking attempts

• Monitoring and preventing SQL injection attempts on static or dynamic websites
• Adding an extra layer of security for eCommerce, blogs, and corporate websites

Expected Results:

After installing this script, you can expect:

• No unauthorized SQL access to your database
• Automated blocking of suspicious URL requests
• Real-time attack notifications via email
• Improved website security against SQL injection threats
