As far as I can tell from the demo there is no server side validation on this captcha. Everything is handled on the client side. So really all your doing is making an annoyance for your honest target users. And allowing a spam bot to just totally ignore this 'captcha' to submit their POST regardless....
I've seen hundreds of these 'alternative' captchas. 'slide to unlock', 'sort images' ect. None yet have proven to be as effective at stopping a simple curl script.
Real captchas will store the value of the image or verification method on the first fetch in a session, and when the form is finally filled out the server will verify that the session value matches the submitted value. Without this component, the alternative captchas are pointless and just an annoyance to your real users.
Spam bots are not built on top of web browsers...
- personalcompute 15y agoAs for being client side, it's just a proof of concept at the moment.
- josscrowcroft 15y agoYeah, exactly. It's a proof of concept, with plans to turn it into a production-ready solution that relies on a typical difficult PHP Captcha, which is then replaced with the cooler MotionCAPTCHA on page load, if the user's browser supports.
