How can you possibly embed such code in a forum post?

It's called an image. Thankfully, only the 1337est of hackers can master this arcane technology.

Ah, I had looked at the "previous post", but there was no image. I guess he edited the post to remove the image so. Guess I'd better not take up a hacking career - I'd not get very far. Even took me a couple of minutes to figure out 1337est. Cry

But wait, OpenYourEyes said he was using a flash beacon to catch the IPs. I found this which shows how to embed flash code into a forum post, and the first reply says "allowing users to embed flash is a security risk". So... what gives? OpenYourEyes can't have just used a regular image because that would have gone over joe23's TOR connection - he specifically tried flash which often ignores proxy settings.

You're right, you can't embed flash on here. I just posted an image, but I had also posted a link to a website which had the Flash video embedded.
I have no idea any more as to whether Flash abides proxy settings, it never used to, but some are saying other wise now, plus my test failed so I'd be inclined to agree.

No need to click any link. You just embed it as an image on the PM just like you did in the thread reply. PM's can also use bbcode.
As soon as he opened the Messages page, which has your latest 20 or so messages showing, it would call your script and you'd have the data you wanted, but without all the garbage

True, but I don't have the ability to run PHP/JS/Flash code on here, hence why I had to ship him off to a point I control. Cheesy
