Mini Mods - Harmor's Bot Protection

Here is a demo

Let me explain how this works.

On the registration page a potiental user has to enter a random character of a word.
I have done something different though. It randomly selects a username from the database to be used as the word.

Some of you may be asking "Can you explain how it does the checking"?
On the registration page I have a hidden form that contains a hashed version of the correct character. After the form is submitted it checks if the the hashed version of the character you typed against the correct hash.

If you installed this hack you can enable it by going to
vBulletin Options --> User Registration Options
The option to enable/disable the feature and to add your own hash are at the bottom.


If you are upgrading this hack you'll need to edit the "register" template.

Go to your ACP >> Styles & Templates >> Style Manager
Expand the template you want to edit.
Expand the Registration Templates category

Open: register
Find:

What is the first character of <b>$ahbot[username]</b>?

Replace with:

What is the $char_loc character of the word <b>$ahbot[username]</b>?

Yes, but sometimes the image verification can be hard to read.
