Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL errors in application logs
- Multiple failed login attempts after search queries
- Long or malformed search queries in access logs
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests with SQL keywords in searchinputdata parameter
- Unusual database query patterns from application server
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND (searchinputdata CONTAINS "UNION" OR searchinputdata CONTAINS "SELECT" OR searchinputdata CONTAINS "OR '1'='1")
