MySQL is the most popular database on the web and part of the LAMP stack. But security can be a hit or miss affair with passwords kept in dot files or Bash variables, and other passwords in configuration files. Plus the default MySQL authentication system is, to be nice, a little too promiscuous. This session will cover the five major vulnerability points of a MySQL installation, how to buttress them against attack or stupidity, and how recent changes in the server product line provide 'secure by default' installation.
