Re: [PEN-TEST] Mysql version utility

[Jonathan Leto <jonathan () leto net>]

I don't know the specifics of when the protocol version changed, but I have
seen mysql versions as new as 3.22.30 with protocol 9 and servers as old as
3.21.25 with protocol 10.

 Ted Behling (tbehling () MONARCHIS NET) was saying:
