captcha hack for wacko wiki...?

Well, our wiki (using wacko wiki, a nice light wiki) is being spammed a lot...
I tryied to implement this hack http://wackowiki.com/CapTcha?v=zbz
but it is just working partially...
you can see the image generated, and input the asked word, when you
are not logged in, but for some reason you can save changes without
adding the right code... or not adding any word at all :(

Do you have any idea what can be wrong?

Or other way to add a captcha or something to avoid spam... :(
TIA, and sorry for the bad english :)

Look at session variables. Do some writes to the screen and stop the
script at certain places to find your error.

Yep, it was that... I made a few echos of variables, and realize that the
script was working with different variable names (the page shows the hack
made with version 1.3 of freecaptcha, 1.4.1 is the latest)
And needed to add a new string to the language file of the wiki (the page
did not mention that)

After a Google search, I see that quite a few CAPTCHA implementations in PHP are available. I'd like one that's not (easily) OCR-able, or otherwise crackable.

I'll require users to solve a CAPTCHA before their entry is accepted. I might use CAPTCHAs to protect...

Hi, I wanted to generate Captcha images(*) from Python and I couldn't find any module that suited my needs so I made one myself. It only needs PIL. (I used PIL 1.1.6) It can generate images with a provided background or it can make a random background for you. It needs a truetype font to draw the letters, and outputs jpeg images.

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
