An interesting approach, although one line of javascript will solve all samples beyond the first one (didn't bother writing extra code to handle your demo case):
$('.trueletterimage').each(function () {$('#userdata').val($('#userdata').val() + $(this).attr('src').split('.')[0].split('/')[1])});
Copy paste into the console and enjoy.
Ok, obviously the above is mostly in jest. I always enjoy seeing new captchas, despite most having major flaws. I do have to echo other comments that mention the user difficulty issue. Using this in production would require more explanatory text than your average captcha, and it does seem to take a little longer to figure out than, say, a recaptcha image. That said, likely the bigger issue is one of image classification allowing bots to solve most of them.
- dougmccune 13y agothe above is also directly ignoring the text immediately below on the page: This is dumb! I already figured out how to crack it, and yes, of course I realize that the production version will render the MAPTCHA as a single image, not as separate elements, and it will draw from a practically limitless database of images. I'm not saying this is a good captcha, but if your first response is seriously to not read any of the text on the page and go for the easy "hey, look how dumb this is" answer, are you really trying hard enough?
- rallison 13y agoI did read that. And that is why I added the "in jest" part, followed by my serious comment. However, rereading my comment, I should have said "in jest" instead of "mostly in jest."
- dougmccune 13y agoah, I can re-read and see how that is meant as a joke specifically targeting the text I quoted. Gotta love the internets, where no one can hear your intonation and subtleties
- rallison 13y agoIndeed. On the plus side, with this comment chain, I doubt that anybody else will miss the subtlety.
