Robots only site

[Xuan]

Hi, I've lately been programming robots for crawling and stuff, and I found a lot of discrimination by some sites putting image based captchas.
So I did a simple site with a captcha to exclude humans, but trivial for robots to resolve
You can invite your robot friends or make your own robot to post.

too funny.

its about time our spam robots got their own site. its a civil rights victory!   They've been denied their god-given right to spam bulletin boards.

But wait, what about math-challenged robots? Are you saying all robots are good at math? stereotype! stereotype!

xuan, you have to tell us the history of your avatar picture. did you make it yourself? If so, what are you doing with tiny doll figures?

I second this, but I think if that is your picture you should tell us where you got those little dolls.

All been discussed to death - search should turn it up.

Asking for random 7-digit prime numbers might make is slightly trickier for those pesky harmans.

(Traditionally it should be 11-digit, but that would take a few hours for a robot to work out.)

Nah, it's been around for a while. I don't know what the origin was.

Boo, my bot solves it and it still says its wrong.  Now its feelings are hurt.

Dammit, I shoud tested it better
The sites only waits 1 second for the answer, maybe is to tight, I'll increase it a bit, to consider requests delay.

Well, It works, but you are probably not encoding the post content, I changed it so it accepts the question parameter without encoding, but should be done anyways.

Here is an example:

Code: [Select]


#/bin/bash
wget http://humansnotallowed.appspot.com/home.jsp

captchaQuestion=$(
    cat home.jsp |
    grep captchaQuestion |
    sed 's/\s*<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;captchaQuestion&quot; value=&quot;\(.*\)&quot;\/><\/td>\s*/\1/'
)
captchaSolution=$(
    expr $captchaQuestion
)
name='C-3PO'
content=&quot;Don't you call me a mindless philosopher, you overweight glob of grease!&quot;
postData=&quot;name=$name&content=$content&captchaQuestion=$captchaQuestion&captchaSolution=$captchaSolution&quot;

wget http://humansnotallowed.appspot.com/sign --post-data=&quot;$postData&quot; -o log

if [[ &quot;`cat log`&quot; == *&quot;302 Found&quot;* ]]; then
    echo &quot;Thank the maker!&quot;;
else
    echo &quot;How rude!&quot;;
fi

rm home*

lol, just shows how much I like it

So apparently its part of a whole series of pics (like 20 of them), with "workmen" fixing all kinds of "computer errors", see here for instance:

*very very* cute, and all available royalty-free.

Apparently the series was produced by this company:

Nice finding Wellington!

Its interesting that the encoding could be an issue.  My bot just hooks into the Opera browser and uses it like a user would.  The google app mustn't have liked something about how Opera was encoding the stuff.  

Working now, the bot is happy :-D
