It looks like you're attempting to demonstrate or test a SQL injection attack. SQL injection is a code injection technique that exploits a security vulnerability in an application’s software by altering SQL queries. It's important to note that engaging in or promoting any form of illegal activity, including unauthorized access to databases or systems, is unethical and may violate laws.

If you're looking to learn about securing applications against SQL injection, here are some best practices:

  1. Use Prepared Statements: Prepared statements ensure that an SQL statement is compiled before parameters are added, preventing malicious input from altering the overall query.

  2. Use Stored Procedures: Similar to prepared statements, stored procedures are predefined SQL statements stored in the database that can help prevent injection.

  3. Input Validation: Validate and sanitize user inputs to ensure they conform to expected formats before processing.

  4. Principle of Least Privilege: Limit database user permissions to only what is necessary for the application.

  5. Error Handling: Properly handle errors to avoid exposing database errors to users, which can provide information to an attacker.

Educating yourself and others about these practices contributes to safer web development and helps to protect sensitive information. If you have questions about web security or want to learn more about safe coding practices, feel free to ask!
