Re: SQL injection is far from rare
Agreed.

Since 2003, SQL Injections have remained in the top 10 list of CVE vulnerabilities.

SQL Injection was #1 in the OWASP 2013 TOP 10.

I bet it will still be #1 when OWASP releases the 2014 Top 10.

The reason is because the impact of this vulnerability is so huge. An entire database that contains sensitive information can be compromised. In many cases this can be leveraged to conduct further attacks on the host such as privilege escalation, and or remote code execution when certain conditions are met.

SQL injection is far from rare
"SQL injection vulnerabilities are becoming more and more rare"

Really? Ever heard of Drupal? It was in the news lately. Perhaps Ilia Kolochenko lacks the tools to identify these sorts of attacks and has a false sense of security.
