: The attacker monitors the server's response time.
When a standard SQL injection fails to return data directly, attackers use a strategy. The command WAITFOR DELAY '0:0:5' tells a Microsoft SQL Server (MSSQL) to halt execution for exactly five seconds. The "story" of the attack unfolds as follows:
: By repeating this thousands of times for every character in every table, an automated tool like SQLMap can reconstruct entire databases character by character. Why This Specific Payload? Blind SQL Injection | OWASP Foundation
