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.

I had this hack working. I had it set up as non-gd. Well I moved servers and redid the hack. Now only some of the images show up and some show are red Xs. If you right click the red Xs and hit show picture they will appear. HELP!

try reuploading the jpeg files and make sure they in binary

[94supratt]

Its kinda random. So letters show up and some don't its not the same ones all the time. I hit refresh and do it over and over and different letters appear. I have it set to use a word list. For example one of the words on the list is SUPRA sometimes the U and P are missing and sometimes the S and A, etc.

uninstall the hack and try again
i know its a pain but i had to do this
infact i stopped using it i moved to version 2.3 release 3

It should be completly done and bug free today, at the most, by tomarrow, this time im gonna throughly test it online for bugs.

Yeah. That was 2 1/2 weeks ago and still no updated file. I had to disable this since sooooo many newbies couldn't register.

I definately see this at the top of this thread:

The hacker has agreed to provide support for this hack.

[msimplay]

lol me too
Erwin just sed update to 2.3 and i did pain in my backside it was too
with the amount of hacks i had :banana:

[Zombie-F]

Yeah, I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 hacks implemented, so it looks like I'll be clicking "uninstall" this weekend and spending all my free time hacking 2.3.

Is 2.3 in it's final release yet? I never got an e-mail telling me it was ready, but my admincp tells me it's the newest one.

[msimplay]

i had to click uninstall
although it was a nice attempt at the hack
it wasn't functional

[yxboom]

I installed but disabled it since there were too many complaints that they see multiple Red Xs instead of just 1 Red X. I think I be waiting for a fix.

[msimplay]

i think development has ceased since version 2.30 has this by default Erwin actually even told me to upgrade which i am now better off
