running code using different extensions
using a simple .hcaccess file it's possible run (php) code using a different file extension like .jpg
>
This can be used creating tracking pixels since
- example htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule pixel.jpg /pixel/pixel.php
example pixel.php:
//draw a pixel
header('Content-Type: image/png');
echo base64_decode('iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAACnej3aAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=');
?>
Done you now have a pixel running php code.
