What is LDAP injection ? 

    LDAP injection is a specific form of attack that can be employed to compromise Web sites that construct LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) statements from data provided by users. This is done by changing LDAP statements so dynamic Web applications can run with invalid permissions, allowing the attacker to alter, add or delete content. LDAP is a protocol that facilitates the location of organizations, individuals and other resources in a network. It is a streamlined version of DAP (Directory Access Protocol), which is part of X.500, a standard for network directory services. Find out more for with Java Example of how to do it ...
