By default the distinction of a `True` query from a `False` one (rough concept behind boolean-based blind SQL injection vulnerabilities) is done by comparing the injected requests page content with the original not injected page content.
Not always this concept works because sometimes the page content changes at each refresh even not injecting anything, for instance when the page has a counter, a dynamic advertisement banner or any other part of the HTML which is rendered dynamically and might change in time not only consequently to user's input. To bypass this limit, sqlmap tries hard to identify these snippets of the response bodies and deal accordingly. Sometimes it may fail, that is why the user can provide a string (`--string` option) which is **always** present on original page **and** on all True injected query pages, but that it is **not** on the False ones. Instead of static string, the user can provide a regular expression (`--regexp` option). Alternatively, user can provide a string (`--not-string` option) which is **not** present on original page **and** not on all True injected query pages, but appears **always** on False ones.

To bypass this limit, sqlmap tries hard to identify these snippets of the response bodies and deal accordingly. Sometimes it may fail, that is why the user can provide a string (`--string` option) which **should** be present on original page (though it is not a requirement) **and** on all True injected query pages, but that it is **not** on the False ones. Instead of static string, the user can provide a regular expression (`--regexp` option). Alternatively, user can provide a string (`--not-string` option) which is **not** present on original page **and** not on all True injected query pages, but appears **always** on False ones.
Such data is easy for an user to retrieve, simply try to inject into the affected parameter an invalid value and compare manually the original (not injected) page content with the injected wrong page content. This way the distinction will be based upon string presence or regular expression match.
