Its not just SQL Injection but LDAP Injection, XPATH Injection etc which can be used for break the authentication . – Sachin Kumar Nov 17 '11 at 6:21
@SachinKumar- Thanks for correction. Is that SQL injection, LDAP injection, XPATH injection all refers to same meaning? – Kars Nov 17 '11 at 6:31
man-in-the-middle attack, packet snooping, brute-force( more or less same as dictionary) are some others. – Vineet Menon Nov 17 '11 at 6:47
Replay attacks, capture and replay a sequence of data – this.josh Nov 17 '11 at 7:53
