some pretty smart shit from slashdot: free porn and challenge-response images
 

theres a thread at slashdot right now regarding something interesting that some spammers are doing.

<i>"Spammers are now usings a new <A HREF="http://boingboing.net/2004_01_01_archive.html#107525288693964966">techni que</a> to circumvent the 'captchas,' the distorted text in graphics, that users must input to receive the free email account. The spammers have cracked the system by displaying the 'captchas' on free porn sites in real time. Since there are always a large number of people signing up for free porn, they do the work of decripting the 'captchas' which is then replayed back into the spammers program to create a new email account. Who thought that porn could be a hacking technique!"</i> Sure sounds plausible, though the link here says only "someone told me."

touche!

fuck, i didnt even think about that. thanks man thats fuckin wonderfull.

np
i figured since my method was leaked i should just share it fuck
slashdot has 80 billion readers a day

Hmmm depending on where these captchas are being taken from.... I guess if you had high enough traffic to the free sites you would be able to meet the timeouts, unless timeouts are being sidestepped as well.

A few good methods to beat the captchas, have one program that can guess them 50-60% of the time consistantly...so we just run many boxes to counter act the declines.
