My Oracle Security blog is 21 next week. I have created a summary post detailing some of the blog journey - www.petefinnigan.com/weblog/archi... - #oracleace #sym_42 #oracle #database #security #tools #software #training #products #blogging #birthday

Is it possible in Oracle to stop your own procedure/package from being executed by someone with EXECUTE ANY PROCEDURE? - petefinnigan.com/weblog/archi... - #oracleace #sym_42 #oracle #security #audit #trail #audittrail #databreach #hacking #grants #protect #readonly #table

Testing our secured schema and table to allow READONLY and delete and insert only via an API - www.petefinnigan.com/weblog/archi... - #oracleace #sym_42 #oracle #security #audit #trail #audittrail #databreach #hacking #grants #protect #readonly #table

Lets implement an account you cannot log into and a table that you can read but not delete/insert except by an API and no updates! - www.petefinnigan.com/weblog/archi... - #oracleace #sym_42 #oracle #security #audit #trail #audittrail #grants #protect #readonly #table

New blog discussing how we may replicate the security of the AUDSYS.AUD$UNIFIED table without access to Oracle secret sauce - www.petefinnigan.com/weblog/archi... - #oracleace #sym_42 #oracle #security #audit #unified #protect #audittrail #databreach #readonly #grants #protection

What is a schema in Oracle and what does the CREATE SCHEMA command do? - www.petefinnigan.com/weblog/archi... - #oracleace #sym_42 #oracle #database #security #create #schema

Exploring how Oracle may or may not secure AUDSYS and AUD$UNIFIED - www.petefinnigan.com/weblog/archi... - #oracleace #sym_42 #oracle #security #audit #unified #protect #audittrail #databreach

Twisted foot sideways and heard loud snap so knew it was broken. Rang 111, A&E and Urgent Care, x-ray &had the boot fitted quickly. 4-6 weeks for it to heal BUT all Oracle Security work, training and products are available #oracleace #sym_42 #oracle #security #training #software

New blog about attacking and protecting the Oracle database from file system issues - www.petefinnigan.com/weblog/archi... - #oracleace #sym_42 #oracle #database #security #dos #hacking #file #directory #java

Oracle protects the user AUDSYS and makes the table AUD$UNIFIED read only; not 100% true because Oracle writes to it and allows delete via DBMS_AUDIT_MGMT. How does this work - www.petefinnigan.com/weblog/archi... - #oracleace #sym_42 #oracle #security #audit #trail #unifiedaudit #readonly

Would you be surprised to know that if you issue one DDL command in Oracle that it actually does two DDL commands? - www.petefinnigan.com/weblog/archi... - #oracleace #sym_42 #oracle #database #security #ddl #grants #privileges #hacking

Great news yesterday and extremely honoured to get an email from @oracleace to let me know I am an Oracle ACE Pro for 2025 to 2026. Thanks!

PFCLScan can be used to look for vulnerabilities in an Oracle database. I have written a brief history of the development of this tool as someone asked me about it recently - www.petefinnigan.com/weblog/archi... - #oracle #security #pfclscan #vulnerability #scanner #breach #databreach #datasecurity

Finally changed PeteFinnigan.com to HTTPS. I know some people have commented over the years about this BUT the site was / is static and we do not collect any data so strictly HTTPS was not necessary but we have implemented it - www.petefinnigan.com/weblog/archi... - #oracle #security #website #https

The wrong error message is reported. It states an audit option is needed but the issue is really different - www.petefinnigan.com/weblog/archi... - #oracleace #sym_42 #oracle #security #audit #trail #unified #unifiedaudit

If you try and create an Oracle unified policy with no actions, privileges, roles then you get an ORA-46373 error - can we get around that? - www.petefinnigan.com/weblog/archi... - #oracle_ace #sym_42 #oracle #unified #audit #auditing #forensics #audittrail

Hello Everyone; this is my first post on #BlueSky. I will normally be talking about securing data in Oracle databases, internals of Oracle, occasionally programming in various languages and even sometimes about creating languages as I created a simple language recently in PL/SQL.
