Security Researcher Detected: You might have ended up here because your site vulnerability scanner found something interesting. Hi! I'm a security engineer and I'm having a good time interacting with the people and bots that are interested in information security.

You will hopefully find this site is well-secured and I'm not interested in being hacked. I'm interested in learning about how people try to hack me, though.

SQL Database Dump

What an attacker could do

A publicly fetchable database dump hands an attacker the complete contents of the database, including authentication data and business records, for offline analysis and account takeover.

How to defend it

Move dump files to a non-public location with access controls and block .sql downloads at the web server level.
