Explanation

Blind SQL injection is a type of SQL injection attack where the attacker indirectly discovers information by analyzing server reactions to injected SQL queries, even though injection results are not visible. Blind SQL injection attacks are used against web applications that are vulnerable to SQL injection but don’t directly reveal information. While more time-consuming than regular SQL injection, blind SQL injection attacks can be automated to map out the database structure and extract sensitive information from the database server.
