Image result for Sniffing passwords from same network(Lan) using Cain and Abel tool
First install the tool Cain And Able form here.
Download Cain & Abel from tools section
Step 1:Please turn off the windows firewall or any other third party firewall so that all the packets are captured efficiently.
Step 2:Open Cain and Abel tool
Step 3:Goto -> Sniffer Tab and click Configure in the main menu to configure your packet listening adapter.
Step 4:Select the appropriate network adapter for your network that you want to sniff the packets for plain-text passwords. And Click Ok.
Step 5:Click the Green Adapter icon as shown below. This means that you just configured the adapter and now you are turning it ON.
Step 6:Now select the APR tab below as shown and now first click on the right side upper pane area. When you click that area the blue plus (“+”) icon will get enabled. Press that blue plus (“+”) icon.
Step 7:This is very interesting step. Now we need to select the router`s IP address and click ok. This means that we want to listen to every packet that is sent to router. If we select any other IP address in our LAN network then we can listen to only that particular HOST on the network. Since the router responds to all the request of HOSTS connected in a LAN. Thus we can listen to all the HOSTs.
Step 8:Now click the Yellow Circle icon as shown. This means that we are starting ARP poisoning.
Step 9:We can see that in the upper right panel there is an IP address of our router and when we press that Yellow Circle icon (button), it performs ARP poisoning.
Step 10:Now click the password tab which is at the bottom. We can see that we are getting passwords of HTTP i.e. plain text session in our LAN network.

What is SQL ?

SQL (Structured Query Language) is a standardized programming language used for managing relational databases and performing various operations on the data in them. Initially created in the 1970s, SQL is regularly used by database administrators, as well as by developers writing data integration scripts and data analysts looking to set up and run analytical queries. The uses of SQL include modifying database table and index structures; adding, updating and deleting rows of data; and retrieving subsets of information from within a database for transaction processing and analytics applications.  Queries and other SQL operations take the form of commands written as statements -- commonly used SQL statements include select, add, insert, update, delete, create, alter and truncate. _________________________
