thats it. A ridiculous theoretical problem will become a real problem by communicating it to the world. Meltdown is IT's biggest idiocy of all times.

Apologies for this newbie question. We have inherited an IBM p5 520 (9111-520) running AIX 6.1.0.0 which seems to be the base install and no further patches installed.

NAME
themole - automatic SQL injection exploitation tool SYNOPSIS
themole [ -h ] [ -u url ] [ -n needle ] [-t num_threads] DESCRIPTION
The Mole is a command line interface SQL Injection exploitation tool. This application is able to exploit both union-based and blind bool- ean-based injections. Every action The Mole can execute is triggered by a specific command. All this application requires in order to exploit a SQL Injection is the URL(including the parameters) and a needle(a string) that appears in the server's response whenever the injection parameter generates a valid query, and does not appear otherwise. OPTIONS
-h Shows the help message and exits. -u url Sets the url of the mole's instance to url. -n needle Sets the needle of the mole's instance to needle. It must be a string that appears when the injection returns true and disappears when the injection is false. -t threads Sets the max number of concurrent requests that the mole will be making. Cannot be changed at runtime. SEE ALSO
The program provides interactive documentation, refer also to the official README file. AUTHOR
