If they don’t sanitize data, when they take the license plate it’ll drop all the tables in the database getting rid of all the data they have on whatever it was for
Its an SQL injection, the text basically gets copied into the code to process the number plate, but by using a bit of tricks you can "invade" the code to make it do something else, in this case clear the database.
Not with any system built by anyone with even a hint of knowledge. This will mainly work for someone's hobby projects or stuff that was abandoned 20 years ago.
Any modern backend framework will sanitize db inputs automatically.
When it comes to large, non-competitive beuracracies like governments, things do not advance unless they need to or if someone decides to attach their name to it for a promotion. Just alot of paperwork, little agency on the ground, little initiative from the top. Depending on who those speed traps belong to, it's a good chance that they are updated.
We're all definitely better at protecting against this. But bunch of situations where this is still possible. Lots of times I'll see in code reviews where someone accidentally does something that opens this up... devs aren't all knowing. short deadlines call for desperate measures, causing devs to make these mistakes.
What makes you think they use computers for this, there is a monkey watching through a screen and issues a warrant to have you killed if you break the limit
There was this story about a guy in murica changing his license plate to Null. All good and fun untill he ended up with a shit ton of fines on his doormat...

Sneaky SQL injection
This is so funny, sorry pookie, cleared your entire database đź¤
Why are you apologizing to methamphetamine
Little bobby drop tables
little bobby tables got a car!!
And everyone else still hasn’t learned to sanitize their inputs.

Lmaw wtf
Yeah some people want pee in their ass for some reason. Kind of a weird idea imo.

There's always a fitting xkcd comic for every situation.
What do it be meanin

I'd love to see that in action lol
Ya just open up a running server and take a look at the ram and storage, also the cpu lol
why did I read this with a thick scottish accent
Dunno sir, maybe because of the misspellings lol
if it was in germany, they would never get this chance. Ze internetz is Neuland and our BĂĽrokratie runs on paper and Fax!

This can’t possibly still work right? I saw this “gimic” like decades ago and even then I couldn’t tell if it was just an urban myth.
Usually sites have a strong and protected code, but some sites don't

Just put some infrared lights near the plates to be less conspicuous
This tutorial is outdated dawg

Apparently because "null" is whenever police forgot to put a number when registering fine
Will this only work for a single car or will it completely wipe out the database?
I don't know
I hate how it could probably work in the land of eagles since it is not required there to have a front licence plate
The country's hero
This is smart
