Is there any way to track images and where they're being posted at?

[AJ™]

I don't have any tracking on my server (because I have no idea what to even get) but can chevereto track where things are posted/hotlinked at? If not, what kind of script can I use for that?

Nope. That is one layer above PHP. You need something like awstats or analog which are mostly bundled in all cPanel/Plesk. If you don't have cPanel or Plesk you need to ask your hosting company to install this scripts.

I don't know that tool. If it work at server level sure. Otherwise is the same thing as Google Analytics (doesn't work to track static file access).

i think you should check this up http://piwik.org/log-analytics/how-to/#toc-how-to-import-more-data-including-bots-static-files-and-http-errors-tracking.

piwik is open source web ANALytics 😵😉😱😎🙄

Python 2.6 required. Note: the script that loads and parses the log files is written in Python, but Piwik itself behind the API is written in PHP5

In my experience the best tool to track static files is webalizer. http://www.webalizer.org of course that anything that can read the server log will work for you. There are even desktop programs that can do that. I think that webalizer is better because it is really fast and it is a very old project. Note that webalizer doesn't suit for web analytics, is more likely a server log viewer.

Anyway, it is only my suggestion. You can try it if you want. 😉🙂😱😀😎
