Protects your data by inspecting incoming queries from your application server and rejecting abnormal ones.
For example, this is how web server normally interacts with database server:
By adding DBShield in front of database server we can protect it against abnormal queries. To detect abnormal queries we first run DBShield in learning mode. Learning mode lets any query pass but it records information about it (pattern, username, time and source) into internal database.
After collecting enough patterns we can run DBShield in protect mode. Protect mode can distinguish abnormal query pattern, user and source and take action based on configurations.

Web Interface
For testing we have a vulnerable page at http://192.168.22.1/user.php
user.php
contents:
<?php
include('config.php');
// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, "test");
// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
if (!empty($_GET['id'])){
if ($result = $conn->query("SELECT * FROM Persons WHERE id=".$_GET['id'])) {
foreach($result as $k => $v){
echo "Name: <b>{$v['Name']}</b><br />City: <b>{$v['City']}</b>" ;
}
mysqli_free_result($result);
}
}
$conn->close();
We are using sqlmap for exploiting the vulnerability, result are as below:
$ sqlmap -u http://192.168.22.1/user.php?id=1
[12:14:31] [INFO] GET parameter 'id' is 'Generic UNION query (NULL) - 1 to 20 columns' injectable
GET parameter 'id' is vulnerable. Do you want to keep testing the others (if any)? [y/N]
sqlmap identified the following injection point(s) with a total of 53 HTTP(s) requests:

Title: AND boolean-based blind - WHERE or HAVING clause
Payload: id=1 AND 8909=8909
Type: AND/OR time-based blind

Payload: id=1 AND (SELECT * FROM (SELECT(SLEEP(5)))eIyW)
Type: UNION query
Title: Generic UNION query (NULL) - 3 columns
Payload: id=1 UNION ALL SELECT NULL,NULL,CONCAT(0x71786b7071,0x64666b56715965797a6e654141634c765a6575674b79686461476c5556766671584f74486c5a5a58,0x717a717a71)-- -

Then we try to exploiting it again using the same tool, this time DBShield is protecting the database:
$ sqlmap -u http://192.168.22.1/user.php?id=1

[12:20:43] [INFO] testing 'MySQL UNION query (NULL) - 1 to 10 columns'
[12:20:47] [WARNING] GET parameter 'id' is not injectable
Get it
$ go get -u github.com/nim4/DBShield
Then you can get help using "-h" argument:
$ $GOPATH/bin/DBShield -h
DBShield 1.0.0-beta2
Usage of DBShield:
-c string
Config file (default "/etc/dbshield.yml")
-d Get list of captured patterns
-h Show help
-k Show parsed config and exit
-version
Show version
and run it with your configuration like:
$ $GOPATH/bin/DBShield -c config.yml
