Title: Robots only site
Post by: Xuan on Thu, 16 July 2009, 22:47:44: 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 :D
You can invite your robot friends or make your own robot to post.

its about time our spam robots got their own site. its a civil rights victory! ;D 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! :D

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

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.

Dammit, I shoud tested it better :p
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=$( cat home.jsp | grep captchaQuestion | sed 's/\s*<input type="hidden" name="captchaQuestion" value="$.*$"\/><\/td>\s*/\1/' ) captchaSolution=$( expr $captchaQuestion ) name='C-3PO' content="Don't you call me a mindless philosopher, you overweight glob of grease!" postData="name=$name&content=$content&captchaQuestion=$captchaQuestion&captchaSolution=$captchaSolution" wget http://humansnotallowed.appspot.com/sign --post-data="$postData" -o log if [[ "`cat log`" == *"302 Found"* ]]; then echo "Thank the maker!"; else echo "How rude!"; fi rm home*

lol, just shows how much I like it :D

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:

Post by: Mr.6502 on Mon, 20 July 2009, 11:58:27: 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
