XRumer vs. Captcha Industry: Secure Your Site
One of the leaders in beating Captchas is XRumer. XRumer is a spam tool that posts comments in forums or on blogs. The point of XRumer is to saturate forums and blogs with spammy links to “Site A” in order to increase the search engine rank of “Site A.” XRumer reportedly can even defeat the advanced Captchas used in Gmail and Hotmail (link here), and XRumer is only one of many advanced Captcha circumvention tools.
Unfortunately, there haven’t been any big strides forward taken by the Captcha industry and adopted by the mainstream to beef up security. One of the better Captcha concepts involves identifying rotated 3D images (here), but it too seems a long ways away from actual implementation.
If we are to buy valuable domains, and develop valuable sites, we need good security and it is too bad that the Captcha space leaves much to be desired.

Great read.
It’s nice to see creative thinking.
Thanks for the link.
The term CAPTCHA may sound strange at first but honestly we’re all using it everyday of our lives. The Internet is a platform that allows us to communicate in quick and economic manner. However, this has its own problems because the Internet is also plagued with spammers and there’s lot of spam and junk mail that’s doing the rounds.
wow! It has been a long time since I have heard somebody talk about XRumer Vs captcha-industry – secure your site with such passion. I didn’t quite understand everything but the passion flows throughout the and it is amazing to see someone be so in depth about something. I can feel it.
