Excellent method but make the tage refer to something hidden. Or something that will intrigue.
a html file hidden somewhere. Or send a trojan and use it to take control of your targets machine. -----Original Message----- From: Laurence Brockman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 29 April 2002 20:31 Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Yahoo Account Security Why don't you send an email message to your yahoo account with some embedded html (or JavaScript?) in it (Such as a pic on your home server or something).... or some friend that has apache running. Pick out a picture that no one else will ever load, and wait for him to open the message. You should get a line in the apache access logs with his source IP address... Not sure if this would work, but it might be worth a shot.... anyone with more experience with HTML email stuff think this would work?
