CFFormProtect is an alternative Captcha implementation that tries to be more user friendly than the obfuscated text images. In short, the user is asked to select the correct image out of a set. No difficult to read text, just click the correct images. Check out the features, and download the project at Riaforge: http://cfformprotect.riaforge.org/ Try a demo here: http://www.techfeed.net/cffpdemo/ The feedback I got on my first release of CFFormProtect was great, and the biggest concern was that bots could successfully guess the correct image with a 1 in 3 probability (33%). CFFormProtect now only has a 6.6% chance of being broken. I did this by displaying the three images twice, in random order. You have to correctly click on two of the six displayed images, and if you are incorrect you get a new random set, with a new correct answer. The goal with CFFormProtect is to make form validation brain dead easy for users, but very difficult for spam bots. Planned for the next release: 1. Improve image loading speed (I already know how I'm going to do this) 2. Set a failure limit; after x strikes, your out 3. Display 9 images instead of 6, to increase security (this would be a setting, so if you think 6 is enough you can easily change it) Please give me feedback, and feel free to submit patches if you wanna fix something. :) ------------------- Jake Munson Web Developer IT Department Idaho Power Boise, Idaho 208-388-5665
