Look At My Signature

If you would like to have your own, use http://www.danasoft.com/vipersig.jpg as your Sig.

holy smokes, the guy's right! How'd you do that?

Taha you've changed your avatar again.

I dunno how they did it. I just linked to it. Haha....

Guess the URL is actually directing to a CGI/PHP/ASP/JSP or sth, which will dynamically generate images. If you download the image you will find it's actually in PNG format instead of JPG format.

wait! that is png? i thought ie couldnt do the transperancy of pngs???

#22961

its a strange png.

Drag it to the address bar, its a jpg.

save it, its a png...

#22963

i dragged it to the address bar, and it was a png, but it was stored on my comp... hmm, anyone know how it works? can it be made to look aquaish?

#22964

i found this... http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/pngcode.html

im not quite sure what it is, but it was posted under "how to do it" for the vipersig...

#22966

HA! It got my ISP wrong. But now Ive got to change my IP, because the strange blue man knows it.

#22968

is your sig supposed to be getting my IP?

cause its not

#22970

Is it possible to edit that image, will the script still function and display the IP address?? :huh:

#22977

i dont know where the script is or how to direct the image to it...

i would guess it would function, but i dont know how to link them

or maybe the script would save w/ it if you save the pic

#22979

Thats funny, i love the fact that since i'm on a university network it doesn't know my real ip.

I see your IP under your avatar everyday.

#23135

if i have my ip, and i can login (get to router settings) is there any way i can get to my shared documents or anything w/o setting up a server? also, how do you get to ips behind a router?

#23136

you don't see mine

also, how do you get to ips behind a router?

an ip behind a router isn't visible to the wider world, at least i think not.

I'd like to know how to connect to a computer behind a gateway also (i have a webserver).

What address does an external computer need to ask for?

You don't see mine.

Every single members IP is visible with the exception of Administrators.

#23169

I think only admins and mods can see others' IP's..

except no one can see an admin's.. <_<

creating the signature is easy, every scripting language for the web has functions to get the host, IP, OS, Browser, etc. if you were one of the ones changing the browser string in phoenix to make it reply as if it were Safari you were just forging the reply to the script asking for the string. Then once you get that information you dinamycally generate the png, (there are various libraries to do this, gd is an example).

As far as the admin seeing the IP for the users, the admins get to see the public IP of the poster, in example, the IP of my computer is 192.168.128.21, however I have a Firewall facing the internet and routing all my traffic, that firewall does N.A.T. (Network Address Translation) for the internal non-routable IPs (maps 1 IP to multiple IPs) so the scrip gets the external IP of the firewall.
