Title: Whoever designed this captcha system does not understand captcha
Post by: NorcoCo on February 14, 2013, 06:07 am
After typing 50 posts I realized this entire captcha system is broken.

Each letter is a separate image and there are only a couple variations of each letter - that is EPIC FAIL

This captcha can easily be broken by a mediocre programmer without any human assistance.

How embarrassing.

If you are going to use captcha at least understand how it's supposed to work. All this is doing is annoying people, it is not stopping bots.

I think captcha after every single post is the most annoying.

Oh I think the programmers here are not stupid at all.
As soon as someone has set up a bot to analyze this captcha, SR will spit out a new different style of captchas.
Bot kiddies will soon get get tired because they invest a lot of work for nothing.

I'm just glad that it is not case-sensitive. Makes my life a bit easier.

From an automation perspective even creating a new type of captcha might not slow someone down if they are near the difficulty level that the system uses here.  Once you get a basic framework down adjusting it is pretty easy (especially if you are using existing automation technologies). The current system wouldn't likely need a custom OCR module either.

These captchas are meant to stop humans, not bots.  LONG LIVE THE ROBOTS!
