| Description | Currently the CAPTCHA requires ability to process CSS, or to fake that by special handling. That's something of a barrier, but we can add a bit of cryptographic madness that executes in JS, to make form submissions only valid after JS has run on what looks like a real web browser, with some user input being required as a part of this (e.g. mouse/tap/click/key events being detected as having happened).
Again, this can be faked - but it's hard to fake, as your spam bot then needs to have a JavaScript engine running, with faked user input too -- or it has to be a real human doing the spamming. |
