In an intricate web application architecture using an Oracle database, you, as a security analyst, have identified a potential SQL Injection attack surface. The database consists of 'x' tables, each…

Question

Options

• Az=400, u=4: The attacker constructs A SQLpayloads, each focusing on tables with 400 records,
• Bz=550, u=Z Here, the attacker formulates 2 SQL payloads and directs them towards tables
• Cz=600, u=2: The attacker devises 2 SQL payloads, each aimed at tables holding 600 records,
• DAz=500, u=3: The attacker creates 3 SQL payloads and targets tables with 500 records each,

• A
  81% (43)
• B
  4% (2)
• C
  6% (3)
• D
  9% (5)

Explanation

Explanation

Option A yields the highest extracted data volume because the formula E = x × y × z × u gives us 4 × 2 × 400 × 4 = 12,800 units of data, which is the largest result among all options. Comparing the other choices: Option C (4 × 2 × 600 × 2 = 9,600), Option D (4 × 2 × 500 × 3 = 12,000), and Option B is ambiguous/poorly stated but with z=550 and u=2 would yield only 8,800 - all fall short of Option A's total. The key insight is that while Options C and D have higher individual values of z or u, it is the product of both z and u together that determines the total extracted volume, not either variable in isolation.

Memory Tip: Think of it as a "multiplication race" - don't be tricked by whichever single number looks biggest; always multiply all variables out fully before comparing, since a larger u (number of payloads) can compensate for a smaller z (records per table) and vice versa.
