Introducing lightyear: a new way to dump PHP files

Speeds up dumping files through a blind PHP file-read primitive: iconv charset conversions remap the base64 alphabet so a chosen digit becomes a newline, and PHP's lenient dechunk filter then strips everything before it. An attacker can pull tens of thousands of bytes with small payloads, six requests per digit, without raising PHP warnings.
