[sqlmap-users] Back-end DBMS charset encoding

[Miroslav S. <mir...@gm...>]

Hi all.

I have a general question to all those pentesters that are retrieving data
from sites with "funny" charset encodings (...russian, chinese...).

What's should be the general "consensus" for data retrieval:

A) assume that the backend DBMS uses the "utf8" charset encoding
or
B) treat data retrieved with the same encoding as used in the page
or
C) find out the proper collation used and use that one? (i am not a fan of
this one :)
or
D) don't care (some people tend to use mixed collations which is quite
romantic)

Also, I would like to ask you all to try out the latest revision with cases
that could be problematic and report impressions.

Kind regards
