A hacker visits Website A with the following URL:

http://asampletargetwebsite.com/view-items.php?id=3

He then replaces the “id=3” part with “TypeId=1”. This results in displaying a page with a sad face icon and text “Oops, you are trying to find something that is not here. Please try again!”

He moves on to Website B with a similar URL. The same URL modification produces a page containing the following text:

“You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1”.

What kind of attack is the hacker trying to perform. What can you say about the defense mechanisms against this type of attacks that Website A and Website B have in place?
