Thread: Stop Spamming!

    Default Stop Spamming!

    One of my clients website has a registration form to be filled up, but most of the filled up forms received are spams. We are having a hard time understanding how is it happening as we have a captcha system for the form.

    Please share your views to solve this issue. Thanks!

    According to one survey I read over Captcha system, it showed a failure rate of 23% for the system. The interesting fact is that spammers are improvising their techniques day by day and Captcha system is still the same as it used to be few years ago. I would like to recommend you the newly revised 'NuCaptcha' system which is much more organized compared to Captcha.

    Default NuCaptcha :- Animated motion to the text.

    Yeah, NuCaptcha is easy for Humans and made things harder for the automated softwares as the appearing text is not stable one in NuCaptcha system. Reading animated and moving text is not a difficult thing for a human being but it is very much difficult for a computer software to detect such moving object as a text.

    I have also seen this happening, I don't think any Captcha system is 100% effective. But I agree with Ajay and Caleb that NuCaptcha system is still better.

    You have to be aware that hackers are tricking humans in to solving captcha. On a system called Mturk, ran by Amazon, people can pay human workers to solve captchas. They claim that it is for a research study to see how humans work, but in reality it is hackers finding humans to solve them.

    Since I am familiar with Internet and Forums I have been seeing the same security system of Captcha. I really wonder for not coming across any new system.
