Summary

New Relic's Pixie integration can be used to proactively detect and report SQL injection attempts while an application is live. A proof-of-concept script was created using Python to flag suspicious SQL queries and report them to New Relic One. The script uses a simple rule set to identify potential SQL injection queries, but the authors plan to replace this with machine learning detection in the future. The proof of concept demonstrates how Pixie can be used to detect SQL injection attempts and provides a starting point for building a more comprehensive security product using New Relic's Pixie integration.
