Re: Captcha Signups?

Be warned, though, that there was a writeup on breaking that very technique here on PerlMonks. I have, of course, been unable to find it...

here 'tis. To the orig question. As biker suggests, there is nothing stopping a determined user from signing up multiple times. IMO you have to make the auotmated attack harder or more expensive (either time/money). Unfort the flip side is, if you make the signup process too hard, you'll get no legit users... :-( good luck, I'd be interested to hear about what you come up with.	[reply]

Greetings ariels, While this is an old thread. The article you referred to, turned out to be a real help in finding a Perl(1) based solution for me. Thanks! --chris #!/usr/bin/perl -Tw use perl::always; my $perl_version = "5.12.4"; print $perl_version;	[reply]
