Rurouni Storm sig WTF

[Ganga]

How the hell he do that!!!!! That's the Leetest sig I ever seen!!!!!!!!

[Rurouni Storm]

Actually, it's on a free site. ;)

Just copy the link. I'm still not sure how the creator did it. Neat trick, though.

[WetWired]

It's actually pretty simple. There are certain pieces of information that your browser sends to the web server to help it send/generate the most appropriate content for the browsing platform. This, along with your IP is available to any scripts or CGI executables. Simple use of a graphic library yeilds a dynamicly generated image containing seemingly significant info about yourself.

[Ganga]

I hope that I will understand what you say after I got my Computer science degree.

[Rurouni Storm]

Translation, it generates your info out of server logs.

[RoboticSilence]

Plus a random thing holding up the sign? I've seen two in the last two minutes.

[Adrenachrome]

Its dead wrong for me, I didn't think it was accually showing anyone the correct info.

[Kuja]

It s showing the exact info for me it s very cool.

[D2Maul]

not realy any infromation about my computer. . .
That is NOT my ip. also i know how to mess these up,
dissable cookies and have a firewall (zonealarm) lock
down all connections to yo computer.

[Kuja]

Well why would any one want to do that ?

Firewall's don't work on it. It's using info that MUST be sent to the server.

Now, the IP might be one of a router down the line. It only shows my external IP.

And, yeah, the little guy and the saying are randomised.

[WetWired]

Actually, only the IP is required info. A get request technically only requires the get line followed by the name of the server you're requesting the document from and two blank lines.

[Randuin]

That's if you specified random text. But yes, just like how the zelaron vbstats work, this works the same way

[quikspy67]

Hes sig is kewl at first I thoguht it was a joke but then I realized that it was my information.

[Eddie_Perez]

Would a proxy own his sig?

[RoboticSilence]

Well, yeah... it just shows the info of the proxy.

[Rurouni Storm]

Would a proxy own his sig?

Yep, it does. Router owns it here.

[Randuin]

it's not THAT great cause he didn't make it... but it's still very cool

[Rurouni Storm]

True words Randuin. I know how to code it, but finding a (cheap) server that would allow it is a different story.

[slaynish]

2 words randuin and these are true words ^_^


JEALOUSY ASS

i added the ass? becuz i wanted to be coo like macaronie and say 2 words, see guys im coo too, gimme praise, gime praise.

[`Insolence`]

Man, why do you act so fucking gay all the time... anyway,

Yeah, php/cgi can get your ip/info for server log statistics type info, or banning you/a range of ips and such, firewalls do not stop it, proxies do.
