Thanks to hackers security testing is the buzz word these days. Here are a few I have done in the past:

Cookie testing : Open cookies in notepad and check if you can change the information. If you can change the info, then try running the file and check system behavior.

SSL testing : change setting in SSL config files and run them. Check system behavior (including DB behavior) while these files are running.

Sql injections: Yes, literally you try to inject SQL queries into the site URL and see what happens.
On a serious note: append SQL queries to URLs when you see asp, html pages. if you see '=' in the URL string, the prefix is the variable, so thats where you can append the sql queries. SQL injections testing is an art by itself. So be careful while playing this card during an interview. You can always tell the person that you haven't done it but a QA developer at your previous company used to do this and that how you know the method.

Authenticated URL: When you sign into an application, the URL changes. Copy paste this URL in a separate browser and check if you see the same page as in the other browser. It shouldn't! you could try this with your yahoo or gmail account. After you sign into your account, copy the URL and paste it into a different browser and see if you can see your inbox.

Database leaks testing: Done by advanced SQL injections.
