Line 46 in 44bf14d

result += value

Line 46 needs to be fixed to: result += value.decode('utf-8')

Completely agree with this fix! 👍

This is the same Python 2/3 compatibility issue that's been causing problems across multiple related issues (#17, #19). The .decode('utf-8') addition is essential for Python 3 compatibility.

Additional context:
This fix should actually be applied in the joomla_370_sqli_extract function where binascii.unhexlify() is called. The complete change needed is:

value = binascii.unhexlify(value).decode('utf-8')
result += value

This properly handles the bytes-to-string conversion that's required in Python 3, where binascii.unhexlify() returns bytes objects instead of strings.

Since PR #22 is already open to fix this, it would be great if the maintainers could review and merge it to resolve all these related issues at once. I'm also happy to help with testing or creating an updated comprehensive PR if needed!
