- mdg 16y agoThat is just how fossil rolls.
- wmf 16y agoThat ASCII art CAPTCHA looks geeky, but it should be trivial to crack and is thus worthless if very many sites use it.
- zedshaw 16y agoOr, just hit the little javascript button at the bottom that fills it in. It's only there to keep bots out. It's not all that secure.
- codexon 16y agoYou mean script kiddie scanners. document.getElementById('p').value='5544e312' This isn't going to stop anyone who knows urllib.
- zedshaw 16y agoHave you tried using urlib and urllib2? I think that alone prevents anyone from getting to the site. :-) Seriously though, I'm going for simple and if there's a problem then I'll lock it down more completely.
- codexon 16y agoI have written multiple crawlers for sites like facebook with them. import urllib2;urllib2.urlopen("http://learnpythonthehardway.com/login http://learnpythonthehardway.com/login).read() Since you only want basic protection, you could avoid the visual captcha all together and have the "Fill out captcha" button auto-submit.
