Scott/Tiger was one of my favourite ways to get access to exposed Oracle DBs when I was a pentester back in the 9i 10g era. Reliably there, not often disabled (well until after the pentest anyway), had good privileges.
How about naming a one-row, one col table 'dual' to get a SELECT going where the db demand something in the FROM clause?<p>Was that a Scott flourish?<p>I've done that with other dbs than Oracle.
