What's GD libraries? I'd like to install it, but I can't find it...

This sounds like a great hack for our forum.

GD libraries is installed on your webserver. Usually it's not your concern

Warning: dir(images/verification/) [function.dir]: failed to open dir: Result too large in [path]\register.php(204) : eval()'d code on line 6

Fatal error: Call to a member function read() on a non-object in C:\Inetpub\vhosts\MovieJockey.com\httpdocs\forum\r egister.php(204) : eval()'d code on line 7

I get this :(

Any plans for a vB 4 release? Or does it already work with vB4?

Thanks for it, Going to install first n say the rest.

I got this installed but bots are passing thru :(

This was working fine for us too, but since a few weeks, a lot of bots (or chinese?) have made it through ...

don't work on 3.8.5

I wouldn't use the default (images/file names) It's bound to get bots trained on it

I use different images and/or different file (pic) names. Let them keep training their bots for all I care.. I haven't had 1 single bot register since I installed this where I used to have lots every day



Thanks

I installed this today, and bots are still posting all over my forums.
I will try to upload some other pictures.

Although, if they programmed their bots well, comparing a piece of text with a filename isn't all that hard to bypass ;)

Well, that should not be happening:

It's actually easier than that for bots.

Problem is actually that with default installation bots just revisit the site UP TO 4 times and they'll come in, just adding the ?parameter=correctanswer to the url...

Just increase the number of images and replace default images/names.



SO the more images you add, the less likely they'll pass thru. It just depends on how many retries the bot has been set to.

Nice hack.
Thank you.
Here are some more "intellectual" pictures that may be will help also real users to learn something when already registering to your forum :cool:

I think due to actual hacked reCAPTCHA problem this mode must get a MoD of The Moth status.

Well -- that's didn't stop the bots

Do you mean it didn't hinder Bots to register into your forum?
I could say that after installing this, new Bot/XRumer registrations in our forum are 0 now. To be honest I increased the complexity to 6 images.

Or if you need to prevent Bots from posting when using already registered, e-mail verified users, then you need to use Spam Management of vbulletin with Akismet?

ten minutes late I had a couple new registrations --

However I've since changed the directory of the images, and updated the addon and the template for the updated directory name.

I also installed the addon that checks thje ip address against a blacklist of known spammers, and change the human verification to the most complicated captcha -- and the combination of that has stopped the spamming.

i have just installed it but the images are not showing

i dont knw why??

Does not work for 3.8.5

Why is this mod published in 3.8 section if it's for version 3.6?

Because it works on 3.8 as well, and was moved in 2009. They have just never updated the version in the first post.

Can anyone please upgrade it to work with Vbulletin Version 4.xxxx

Works like a charm for 3.8.7.

Installed.

Had numerous registrations despite of installing it. Removed

This is a cool mod, hope it works well for me. On another note, I went to the author's site and it has been hacked!:eek: I hope it was not due to this mod.....

Spammers are getting through and filling out the registration page :( . I have the hack set to display 8 images, changed all the phrases, the ALT image tag, etc and they still were able to successfully pass through.

So godamm amazing finally the flood of bots was stopped thanks so very much

BTW sometimes it seems that randomly an image doesn't show up and the word "vb secure" appears instead. I have verified by refreshing several times that the 16 images can be displayed correctly so there is not a broken image in particular.

Even so, it will still block lower level bots at the minimum.

Installed, thanks!

I have been using this mod for a few months now and I am very impressed. I did change the default pictures and did some other tweaks.

I REALLY wish this mod worked for v4.x. I think this method is one of the most secure methods after you change all the default images and add a large number of possible images. We changed all the images to be inline with our site and our members have stated they really enjoyed it. The only spammers that we've had it make it through have actually been humans and not bots.

Hey all, I was searching for Image Verification for vB 3.8, and this one showed up!
I hope this work for vB 3.8.6 or 3.8.7... I will try befor Click in Installed!

Thank you!

Hi,

Why does it almost always fail to load all pictures?

thank you..great idea

very thx my friend

It's successfully worked on (vBulletin 3.8.7 Patch Level 2)

i was looking for it
thank you so much

I am running 3.6.7 .. since the update it appears that this is only for 3.6.8?

Anyways I tried to install it, everything looked fine as far as the install process. However I tried registering a new user and only had to type in the old Captcha, no new image verification is apearing. Thoughts?

So, what is stopping this mod from working under vb4? The plugin hook still seems to be there.

Most of the vB3 mods do not work in vB4, they need to be recoded with the new syntax.

Looks Good.
