Defeating Captcha

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the security-through-irritation dept.

An anonymous reader pointed us at PWNtcha, a package that breaks various on-line captcha algorithms. The site provides numerous examples of easy (Paypal, and an older version of Slashdot make the list) and hard Captcha. It also links various sources explaining why Captcha is a bad idea.

    At least we got good-tasting beer ~.
    American beer is about the same as the 'yellow water' that comes out of a Republican Elephant when you threaten it with a military draft.

    At least Canada is close, but not much better.
