Captcha testing and advice

[stutteringp0et]

I was using AI to help me plan test cases. There are only a few types of bots I can't catch now - and that's because nobody can catch them. There is a new flavor of headless bot that runs in a stealth mode (no functions to watch for), operates the mouse, operates the keyboard, and doesn't use script events to control the page. For all intents and purposes, it browses like a human.

Anyway, it's those hyper-advanced bots I can't catch - but those are expensive, and unlikely to be viable for spammers.

I am really interested to hear feedback when you have it - any spam?

Since I updated to 5.2.15 and activated everything on the “Advanced” tab, I’ve had not one single spammy/malicious input logged on my site. Usually get a few XSS/SQL injection/etc logs each day but nothing for the last few days except a couple of “session protection” logs (where a user tries to login to frontend and admin simultaneously).

Big thumbs up from me

No Bittersweet, Bitter for the bots and sweet for my sites I am delighted by hashcash. Thank you Michael.

If y'all don't mind - a review in the JED would be amazing!

new feature added today - the captcha can alter the standard joomla forms (contact, user registration, user forgot password, and user forgot username), adding a busy spinner and loading message to the submit button until the captcha hash has been solved. Some visual feedback for users, and prevents them from hitting submit before the captcha calculation is complete (for the higher difficulty settings) Switch it on in the plugin settings. For forms it doesn't support, this changes nothing.

Very many thanks Michael; v5.2.17 downloaded (not yet showing on update system for me). Will install shortly.

Will leave a review in JED today, too

Yeah, I have my XML update files refreshing every 24 hours at midnight (part of my caching strategy to control CPU usage and bandwidth) and I pushed the update after the cutoff. It'll show up tonight.

edit: thanks for the glowing review - I just saw it!
