University database vulnerability - Davds93 - May 5, 2023

Good evening everyone.
My request is a bit particular but less rare than I thought.
My idea was to "analyze" my university's database and update and add some data that was favorable to me.
Is this something possible in your opinion? Is it like using a SQL injection or is it more complicated. Is there anyone who would like to help me find out?

Why are you messing with a university when you have no idea what you are doing?

Something favorable would be a HOF award from that university for reporting a bug. Not being a loser.

What would be the purpose of what you are doing? Nothing. I strongly advise you to get this idea out of your head, you can't do something like this to a public body without even knowing what you're doing. You will get caught, expelled from university and get a fine if not jail time. The possibility of doing what you said is there but the payment for this is prison, the choice is yours.

In fact, I don't do anything without knowing how to move. And your idea isn't bad either.

The reasons are different. I know some have and I think it's not fair that their chances are better because they cheated.
I haven't done anything and I won't do anything if it's difficult or too risky. I asked on a technical level, morally I know what it means.

If you're screwing with a university you'll get caught, man. Report the issue and stay on the right path - you'll fuck up your future otherwise. If you're interested in Cyber Security then you should absolutely pursue it with everything you've got, but do it the right way.
