The developer uses -1 to say no menu should be shown, other values have 
specific meaning. The suggestion to use %2d for the - sign seems to have 
worked.  I just found another such case for the _ character as part of a 
parameter name.  

I am a little surprised that it is assumed more likely that a person captured 
the requests while doing manual injection testing than the application uses - 
and _ symbols in their application. I guess using them is a bit of a security 
measure :-)

SQLMap sure is a great tool and amazingly thorough. I am also pretty impressed 
with the documentation, it is well written and covers most of what a beginner 
would want to know.  I appreciate it

Thanks!
Bob

  Hi.

  Thing is that in general negative parameter values are a leftover from manual 
injection attempts causing problems in some cases. Hence the warning/error 
message. Have you tried just to change that -1 value to 1 for ShowMenu 
parameter?

  Kind regards

    I received this message:

    [23:28:33] [CRITICAL] you have provided tainted parameter values 
(ncmb%26ShowMenu=-1) with most probably leftover chars from manual sql 
injection tests (;()') or non-valid numerical value. Please, always use only 
valid parameter values so sqlmap could be able to do a valid run.


    Here is a portion of the POSTed data that surrounds this parameter. 

    fhdn%260=&fhdn%26=&ncmb%26ShowMenu=-1&fhdn%26isYahooGobutton=N

    The parameters were captured directly using burpsuite while I was running 
the UI. I was performing no injection testing when this was captured. I looked 
for each of the listed parameters in the posted data and they do not appear. 
(note there are more parameters but I would rather send those privately if 
possible).

    I am running a recent svn extract of the dev stream (1.0)

    Thanks
