Advance Image Verification Hack - Prevent Automated Registrations

Its finally complete, the Advance Image Verification hack, I know some one released it already here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=48443

But it doesn't work at all, this will stop automated registrations as much as not having it installed.

In that hack, it had the value of the image in the public HTML that can easily be leeched and the non-gd support of that hack is just plain text.

With this hack, all the data is stored in sessions on the mysql server.

This hack supports both GD and Non-GD for those who don't want to use GDP or don't have it. Both are real secure and leechers and bots cant tell the actual value of the image.

Features:
-Support for GDP 2.0 and greater versions.
(Image True Color)
-Support for True Type
(For using type type fonts and print text on the image)
-You can give the size of the font for True Type font.
-You can enable and disable Image Verification
-You can give the process in which it generates the text values
(There are two: Random Characters or randomly select a word from the Word List you can create)
-You can set he max digits used to create the random characters
-You can allow caching of GD images to cut down on the server load
-You can set the session time in seconds, if the user idles past that, the old session gets removed and a new one added
-You can specify the main image extension for the images, so if you use peg images it would be jog
-You can give the output type for the final GD image , it can be peg, ping and gift (if you have it supported)
-You can give the quality of peg images that GD outputs
-You can select the output type for the final image.
(There are three, two are for GD and one is non-gd, the non gd one uses multiple images and then output multiple images for each char, the other two uses multiple images and combine them as one image and the other uses one main background image and writes the text in the center)
-You can specify the color of the text for GD images
-You have an option to distort the final GD image
-You can control what characters are displayed in the random character images.

Screen Shots:

Heres a screen shot of when you register this is using the background image with text in center option and the distort image option.

Heres a screen shot of the Non-GD support output, it uses multiple images, but it still uses session hashes so the user or bots cant tell what the value of the image is.

If you like this hack and use it on your forum, all I ask in return is for you to click Install, That's all, thank you.

Hmm, does the image get an error and not get displayed ot when you click register you get the error?

If its a error with register it could be that you entered the wrong vakue, the code is cap sensitive so Test isnt the same as test, if you have php try going to the verify table in the database and find your hash and copy and paste the value from it and see if that works, If not, ill see whats wrong.

should edit .....not run the query.......so can u made the txt file

u can see the pic..

Hmm, ill make a install.txt later but for now, try changeing the url to nstall)verifyimage.php?action=install

Ok, if your getting errors with this try downloading the zip again and follow the instructions in the Image verification.txt file, youll also will need to redo your settings afterwards though.

If you still get problems, post.

This works good on my board offline, the porblem here, is that I might of not made the installer clear enough to where to add the code.

Also remember that the image code text is case sensitive so Test isnt the same as test, to find out if its a case problem, if you have php my admin, go to the database where your forum is on and then fo to the table verifyregister and find your hash and then copy and paste the value into the register input box and see if that works.

Slynderdale, when I installed it the first time the text to replace in register.php was present three times, and as I suspected this is where I messed up. I downloaded the updated text file, did the edits for register.php again and now it works flawlessly. Thanks!

Alright, great to hear, thats what i thought was wrong with it.

Hmm, oh yea, if any one installs this hack and is willing to post a link to there forum for a demo, ill be most grateful.

I updated the zip file, i fixed the install_verifyimage.php and now it has more detailed install instructions like in the install.txt file so you wont place the code in the wrong place, also i fixed a slight bug in the text, the creator and the version was blank if you installed using the text.

I've installed this, and you can see a working demo of the non-GD verification here.

The only problem I found is if you fill the GD-verification out correctly, but have forgot to fill in one of the other required fields (such as password), then when you refresh and go back, the image-verification is sorta screwed up (as in the images wont show). This may only be for the non-GD version though, since I don't have GD installed, but am planning to.

Good job once again Slynderdale

If the images dont appear the the session time limit expired most likly, you can add a small note in the template telling the user if the images dont appear, try refreshing.

And thanks.

Oh yea, Velcod, you might want to place the varible in the register templates for the other styles as well, not just for revision 3.
