Speaking of captchas, I experimented a bit, and saved a few captcha images, and then ran Omnipage (an OCR program) on the captcha images. The OCR program had little difficulty decoding the captchas that I fed it, though I did find that it sometimes wanted to add a spurious punctuation mark (like a period) at the end. Net, net - it would seem that image captchas offer little resistance to a dedicated hacker. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
