On the SQL injection part, does the boolean only work if you can only type in just one of the boxes and not both? Can someone kindly explain this please.

I was also stuck here, but I finally got it to work by typing in the full password they mentioned with spaces included, so like username would be admin or the [email protected], and password would be ‘1’ OR ‘1’ = ‘1’ and then you should see the information show up when you submit.

I really really like how the coding platform that is included in the course engine is so realistic. I honestly really enjoyed doing this and zoomed through it like it was a game! The way this site is set up truly helps the student learn how to code in a way that actually places them virtually inside the coding system of whatever is being tested. I’m obsessed. I also noticed a pattern when the steps of hacking and reverse ethical hacking were listed. They each include the same steps of “hacking” only they appear almost opposite each other. Hacking=1,2,3,4,5 ethical hacking=5,4,3,2,1…you feel me?! It’s super simple and easy to see the various patterns and techniques being used here. I’m honestly amazed and now am very interested in pursuing something with coding career wise at some point in my life, once I have gotten much much better.
