Vern Paxson created BIT-1411:
--------------------------------

             Summary: SQL_Injection_Victim is a misleading name
                 Key: BIT-1411
                 URL: https://bro-tracker.atlassian.net/browse/BIT-1411
             Project: Bro Issue Tracker
          Issue Type: Problem
          Components: Bro
            Reporter: Vern Paxson


I suggest changing the name of this notice to {{SQL_Injection_Target}}.  Having "victim" in the name implies to me that the attack succeeded, which is not what the associated logic is about.

Indeed, I even wonder if this notice is useful.  The information should be directly available from {{SQL_Injection_Attacker}} notices (though it doesn't appear to be currently set up to provide this - why not?).
