        This module exploits a password bypass vulnerability in MySQL in order
        to extract the usernames and encrypted password hashes from a MySQL server.
        These hashes are stored as loot for later cracking.

        Impacts MySQL versions:
        - 5.1.x before 5.1.63
        - 5.5.x before 5.5.24
        - 5.6.x before 5.6.6

        And MariaDB versions:
        - 5.1.x before 5.1.62
        - 5.2.x before 5.2.12
        - 5.3.x before 5.3.6
        - 5.5.x before 5.5.23
