hi Oso. there are some cases where character validation could cause problems like the one you've noticed. i won't go into details.
with the last revision (r4349) there should be a better way to handle this kind of cases. there will be 5 validation retries (incrementing time delay along the run) and if each of those retries fail last known value will be used as a final one (best solution for many reasons, including: it has the best probability to be "better" than the others, there is a great possibility - like in your case - that for some unknown reason there is a problem with the "validation" itself with the probably good value being infinitely revalidated for no reason). kr On Tue, Aug 16, 2011 at 6:11 AM, Oso Dog <osodog...@yahoo.com> wrote: > Hi there, I a new user of sqlmap and have run into a situation where sqlmap > indicates that it has found an injection point of a GET query parameter > using "Oracle AND time-based blind (heavy query - comment".
