Not working. Hacked easily.

  • Hi,

    The Captcha block (and its correct answer) changes every time you go to the page where it’s displayed.
    Indeed, robot can read the current content of the Captcha block, analyze it and calculate the correct result.
    But on the next request the answer will change and the result, which robot received earlier, will be wrong for the current Captcha block content.

    Dude, bot can read HTML every time (not just the first time). They don’t need to refresh the page. this Captcha technique is not too sophisticated for modern bots. I’m getting 20 spam users/hour with this plugin.

    Hi alexxmorozz,

    Your server must be configured properly to prevent bots to read the content from your pages (a ban on remote queries using with file_get_content() or CURL). Unfortunately, this functionality doesn’t available for realization on PHP language side.

    Also you can use .htaccess to limit incoming requests, but as a rule, it has little effect.

    Currently, the most common method of breakig all kinds of protective algorithms is method of value selection, and unfortunately, none of the existing Captcha can provide 100% protection.

    Here is a list with simple recommendations to stop spam on your WordPress website:
    1) Make sure that the Captcha plugin is installed, activated, updated to the latest version and integrated with your form(-s).
    2) Enable all captcha protection complexity. Go to the plugin settings page and enable such options as Plus, Minus, Multiplication; enable Numbers and Words.
    3) Try to submit form(-s) with captcha (use wrong answer to make sure that Captcha is working correctly).
    4) Install and activate Limit Attempts plugin to get additional anti-spam protection and low-down bots registration rate. Learn more – https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/limit-attempts/
