Attackers use NULL values to probe the database because NULL maps to almost any data type, allowing them to figure out the exact number of columns the database is expecting without triggering a data-type error.

Explain how attackers systematically increase the number of NULL values (e.g., SELECT NULL, NULL, NULL ) until the application stops throwing a "500 Internal Server Error" and returns a valid page.

Once the structure is matched, the attacker replaces the NULL with actual commands to extract sensitive data like usernames, passwords, or configuration files. 4. Defense and Mitigation
