Spixel

Spixel (Spy + Pixel) is a simple server built in Golang designed to host a spy pixel. This tracking pixel can be used to detect whether an email or a web page was loaded by the recipient, letting you know when it was read or viewed.

Features

• Track Email Opens: Generate a unique tracking pixel for each target to monitor email opens or web page views.
• Simple Setup: Lightweight and easy to deploy with minimal dependencies.
• Logs Access Information: Records details of each access, such as timestamp, IP address, and user-agent, if desired.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Go installed (version 1.16 or higher)

Installation

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/spixel.git
   cd spixel

2. Build the server:

   go build -o spixel

3. Run the server:

   ./spixel

Usage

1. Generate a Target: To create a unique target. This will provide you with a unique ID representing the target.

2. Insert the Pixel in an Email or Web Page: Embed the tracking pixel by adding an tag pointing to your server, including the unique ID in the URL:

   <img
     src="http://yourserver.com/ID"
     alt="tracking pixel"
     style="display:none;"
   />

   Each time the pixel is loaded, Spixel will log the access, confirming that the email or page was viewed.
