Well Netscape is based off of Mozilla. It is giving you the version of netscape, not the version of Mozilla.
Anyway, I know that images can be created dynamically using PHP, but I have never seen it setup to link directly to the image like that, that's weird.

I don't know what goes into programming that, but i have seen numerous popups that show the same information "click here to scan your computer for vulnerabilities".
I know that the server can report the ip you are coming from and the OS/browser version is from the user agent string (as Juanvaldes mentioned). My best guess is that the picture has the text dynamically rendered upon request. Either way, that is very cool. |

the secret is mod_rewrite
there is no file called http://www.danasoft.com/vipersig.jpg the server takes that specific file request and redirects it to a PHP file that draws up that image instead. *bow*

I was just about to post that, damnit. :-(
http://www.zend.com/zend/tut/dynamic.php I didn't know mod_rewrite what it is called though. I just realized that's what's happening. Here's the mod_rewrite page: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_rewrite.html [also] If you'll notice, it's not a jpg, it's a PNG. You can also put any number of letters/characters/whatever after the jpg and it will work. Last edited by Realizm; 07-02-2003 at 08:25 PM.. |

Does anybody know anything about this???
SM70 EDIT: MERGED
I know I've seen this around on other websites and such. I just now decided to find out a little more about it. does anybody have the code for this??? The website danasoft.com only allows for you to link to a picture whereas I want the nuts and bolts. I just thought it was interesting.

Shocking! They must be incredibly accurate. Windows XP and IE 6!(Sigh) That's like a psychic telling you she is getting an image of someone you know who has feet and that at some point in your life you've been near water. Personally, I wouldn't put much credibility into it.
