This original script comes from MrAndersonMD

Note: the image tag comprising a URL of 84 characters (not the actual binary image) is encoded. See the next post for the encoded img tag.
Note2: the original text is additionally altered when encoded, through htmlentity substitution. e.g double quote ” is encoded in base64 as & quot; (no space)

    Base64 = 148 characters

Pressing Decode reveals the URL and the page subsequently displays the linked resource.
