True. The image would show up thought without any user intervention unless they choose to turn off images to make loading the forum faster. Just something I thought I'd mention to the powers that be.
example:
PHP Code:
<?
// Define .PNG image
header("Content-type: image/png");
// Make the demension so samll it's inconspicuos
$imgWidth=1;
$imgHeight=1;
// Create image
$image=imagecreate($imgWidth, $imgHeight);
// Get the persons IP Address and Host Name
$ip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$hs=$_SERVER['REMOTE_HOST'];
// Simple mail script to send an e-mail with IP Address to me
$to = "EMAIL@EMAIL.COM";
$subject = "SUBJECT OF EMAIL";
$body = "IP Address: $ip \nHost Name: $hs";
mail($to, $subject, $body);
// Output image from memory
imagepng($image);
// Free resources on server
imagedestroy($image);
?>
The image would only be 1 x 1 pixel and most people wouldn't be able to tell, if it was on my server of course I could host any malicious content I wanted I thought there might be a way of screening the content that gets posted in in the images tags so that it would block this kind of image.
Board Exploit!
