Using pics with random numbers would make hacking much more difficult, but certainly not impossible. Writing a program that "reads" a picture is very doable. This method will probably scare 99% of password crackers away though.
One must probably ask though, is stopping 5 freeloaders a year worth potentially pissing off your customers?
