"MiSide" (video game) is a prequel to "9" (film)

1. A human/humans' being (consciousness/soul) being transferred to an inanimate/machine.  To start, in the case of the game Miside, the details of how humans can be seemingly teleported into the mobile game's world are left purposely obscured. Because of that, a possible explanation could be found in the method seen within the film 9 of transferring human consciousness or maybe even just the human body itself into the code of Miside could be similar to the way "The Scientist" from that movie transferred his intelligence within the "Fabrication Machine" otherwise known by the code name "B.R.A.I.N." aka Binary. Reactive. Artificial. Intelligent. Neurocircuit. (Either way, it's the machine seen on the left side of the meme above. I got the names for it from the fandom wiki for 9 as well btw) or how he transferred his pieces of his soul into the "stitchpunks" who are the other equally important half of the feature and obvious parallels can be drawn from the similar yet different creation methods of the two projects. Within 9 we don't know too much about the government project that B.R.A.I.N. was made for but using the world of MiSide, an extra level of depth to the governmental operation is created. I could plausibly see the corrupt government that already made the sketchy move of making the lead scientist of their project transfer his mind into a machine so that it could automate the process of building war machines go down the route of creating a creating a predatory program connected to said machine that preys upon lonely men's innate desire of finding a female partner and seal those souls within Fabrication Machine's body to be tested upon to build even more robotic replacements for mankind. Because why just stop at replacing soldiers in a war? When you have the framework to automate many jobs so that you don't have to pay people to perform them.

2. But instead of transfering consciousnesses of these men flat out as things got hairy when The Scientist initially did with the machine in the first place. Training the cold deadly androids manufactured within the game's very code and put in the skin of cute bubbly anime girls named "Mita" to become human by interacting with their designated "partner" in the form of a person who's played and then became addicted to the mobile game. It would also explain why there seemingly isn't any buzz about people going missing after downloading the game within the outside real world of Miside because the government is actively covering up every missing person case that pops up connected to the mobile game. Also I could easily see the government tricking The Scientist into giving his intellect to a cold unfeeling machine by not only bringing up he's a older gentlemen with probably not too much time left but having the project originally be about making a subversive dating sim instead and masking the end goal of building war machines along with human replacements behind that cover. The Scientist probably wasn't even on board the project for all that long on top of that so he would have never seen the inner workings of MiSide's digital world but I could see how a project with the goal of making a endless yet simple mobile game that makes lonely people (mainly men) feel comfort and companionship despite their living situations or mundane jobs would be enticing project, even more so if you never saw the behind the curtain while you were working on it.

3. The app world of Miside itself seems to be a giant machine with several areas having a deliberately industrial feel to them rather than an out of bounds or inner code aura attached to the places, which are both also present within the game as well. And going off of how it doesn't take too long for the app to download, one can infer that the inner workings of the world are connected to a larger server in the real world which updates and versions are created within before being pushed onto the app as seen on a mobile device. It has already been theorized that the goal B.R.A.I.N. had throughout the runtime of 9 was to put their creator back together. Now I was one of those people and that thought came to me while I was brainstorming this headcanon of mine but I would be amidst if I didn't bring up "The Fangirl" on YouTube because I pacifically watched their 9 analysis video on the Fabrication Machine while I was writing out this long essay you are reading right now and she made me feel seen when she brought up that theorized possible motivation for why the machine acts the way they do in movie. And with that said and done, back to the main topic at hand, this possible motivation for the already exhaustively mentioned antagonist of the film would work well with the headcanon as how their way about getting their personal mission of bringing their creator back was attempted via consuming the souls of the stitchpunks which would mean that they planned to bring "The Scientist" into the app world of Miside so that they could be together again.

4. And to get onto the topic of "Core Mita" (otherwise known as the "keeper of the core" according to the MiSide fanon wiki) who despite being the second character present within the meme that is now sitting far at the top of this post, I have only now gotten to talking about her. Nonetheless, not much is known about her both seen within the story mode and in it's designated description but what is there would be an interesting line about her and I quote "Its intentions are unclear - perhaps Core Mita is waiting for someone" which I lifted from the fandom wiki page about them but is something from it's offical character profile that can be unlocked in the game itself. This is presumably nothing more then a simple throwaway added for extra flare but it works perfectly with this headcanon of mine because if Core Mita is merely the avatar/heart of Fabrication Machine kept within the digital world of MiSide then logically the person it is waiting for would be The Scientist. To bring up yet another theory that I share with The Fangirl on YT but with my own spin on it, perhaps another reason for why B.R.A.I.N. shut down despite being coming out as the victor of the man vs machine war was not only because of it not knowing about the whereabouts of The Scientist and hoping that it's created mechanical monsters could find him or at least his remains. It could also have shut down to return to watching over the Mitas as it had to leave that digital reality behind once it started manufacturing war machines in the real world or simply it just wanted to have more control over the world within its body. Either or, this decision of it's own could be explained logically away by it feeling a level of kinship for the Mitas roaming around within it's digital vast mind not only because it created them and how it's within the digital world that they reside in is that of another Mita but also because it relates to their plight of existence of being merely nothing more than means to an end. But seeing as Core Mita doesn't do much within the campaign of MiSide, one could infer that it doesn't really care about it's fellow Mitas nor the poor people trapped within the code of the game world with the exception being founded when the main character or rather "player 1" tries to reset the main antagonist of the game known as simply "Crazy Mita" back to her factory setting, wiping all of her memories in the progress. Core Mita only seems to care when the deed is done with it jumping down from it's circular "throne" attached to the ceiling of the "core" (or otherwise known as "version 0.0") which is where it gets it's - one of many possible - namesake(s) from then stands in the way of player 1 before grabbing him and throwing him across the room the second he gets close enough. With him being thrown right back to the entrance of the core. But to stay a step back - when the player at first enters the core - one can see Core Mita laying down on it's circular seat atop the core's ceiling before sitting up after taking note of the player's presence within the room. So one can infer it is cable of getting bored sitting on it's metal rear end all "day" (as time is a shaky concept in the MiSide app's digital world) so the "log-in/sign-out" of the "real/digital world" switching side-idea within this headcanon has a bit more ground to hold it up when taking that into account as well.

5. This is because of the entity being the guardian of the core which the needed existence of would make sense with how much vital systems are within that very room. Now even if I like the idea of Core Mita being the Fabrication Machine's avatar within the digital realm of MiSide, the other possible reading one could come to would be that it's merely the heart of world within said machine meaning that neither one or the other needs each other to exist at any given time but once again, I still like the latter reading so I will try to make it work all the same. With that said, if Core Mita doesn't feel any compassion for it's fellow Mitas much akin to how the Fabrication Machine seems to feel the same about it's monstrous mechanical creations that roam the remains of Earth after the war. Then perhaps the Fabrication Machine would ideally want to wait within their own digital realm while waiting for it's creations to find The Scientist would be not only because it nostalgic for a time before it was ordered to build weapons of mass destruction all to further humanity's own efforts of fighting again our own kin but also perhaps it foresaw the possibility of a player walking into the core and messing with its body from the inside out. That or perhaps the small players can also be seen in one part of the game would be a worry for the Fabrication Machine as they are implied to be proficient with machinery and roam free around the digital world of MiSide with no clear "off switch" to their existence like how it is for the players. It would be rather poetic as the machine would have to deal with the stitchpunks after it awoke. That or perhaps it could have even been scared of another scientist on the project being still alive and roaming around it's digital insides, Mitas aren't allowed within the core but players are and going off of how there's other security systems found throughout the game, one can infer that the people behind the project of MiSide could presumably come and go freely into and out of the world of the endless mobile app's universe.

6. But finally this road poetically brings us to the ending/main ending of both sources of media used in this exploration of my headcanon involving them both. To put it simply, I think the grim ending of MiSide where you get so close to bringing even a single cycle of abuse and control at the hands of Crazy Mita only to be foiled in the end and become merely yet another part of that very cycle with your humanity relegated to nothing more than a single cartridge which you are trapped lifelessly in a limbo-like state on top of already being tightly sealed within the digital world of a mobile app that preyed upon your desire for companionship and to escape the mundane reality of boring real life. That somber and canonical ending to the tale of MiSide not only - my opinion - elevates the hopefully and cycle breaking conclusion to the film 9 but itself is given a light at the end of the tunnel in the form of this headcanon as not only do the spirits of deceased stitchpunks murdered by the hands of the Fabrication Machine are able to pass onto the afterlife but so too are those players and the player character of MiSide himself able to pass onto that very same peaceful afterlife after the Fabrication Machine and by proxy, the world of MiSide are laid to rest once and for all. One might be wondering though "why don't we see all of the trapped players' souls flow out of the machine once it's destroyed?" And an answer I thought up as an explanation for this possible question is a bit of a sober one but a possible one all the same. This would come in the form of how perhaps all of the players' whole beings were turned into nothing more then code which could either be because of the technique of transferring humans into the game world or maybe perhaps only a digital copy of the players is created within the mobile app's realm then just flatout transporting them into the digital universe itself. This would go along with MiSide's hopeless ending but at the very least, the players' beings were given the same fate as the Mitas after the machine drew out its final artificial breath as the mobile game's world fell into nothingness soon after.

How to test app for the SQL injection

During code review

Check for any queries to the database are not done via prepared statements.

If dynamic statements are being made please check if the data is sanitized before used as part of the statement.

Auditors should always look for uses of sp_execute, execute or exec within SQL Server stored procedures. Similar audit guidelines are necessary for similar functions for other vendors.

Automated Exploitation

Most of the situation and techniques on testing an app for SQLi can be performed in a automated way using some tools (e.g. perform an automated auditing using SQLMap)

Equally Static Code Analysis Data flow rules can detect of unsanitised user controlled input can change the SQL query.

Stored Procedure Injection

When using dynamic SQL within a stored procedure, the application must properly sanitise the user input to eliminate the risk of code injection. If not sanitised, the user could enter malicious SQL that will be executed within the stored procedure.

Time delay Exploitation technique

The time delay exploitation technique is very useful when the tester find a Blind SQL Injection situation, in which nothing is known on the outcome of an operation. This technique consists in sending an injected query and in case the conditional is true, the tester can monitor the time taken to for the server to respond. If there is a delay, the tester can assume the result of the conditional query is true. This exploitation technique can be different from DBMS to DBMS.

http://www.example.com/product.php?id=10 AND IF(version() like '5%', sleep(10), 'false'))--

In this example the tester is checking whether the MySql version is 5.x or not, making the server delay the answer by 10 seconds. The tester can increase the delay time and monitor the responses. The tester also doesn't need to wait for the response. Sometimes they can set a very high value (e.g. 100) and cancel the request after some seconds.

Out-of-band Exploitation technique

This technique is very useful when the tester find a Blind SQL Injection situation, in which nothing is known on the outcome of an operation. The technique consists of the use of DBMS functions to perform an out of band connection and deliver the results of the injected query as part of the request to the tester's server. Like the error based techniques, each DBMS has its own functions. Check for specific DBMS section.
