Now everyone is a cryptographer of CAPTCHAs


Ahhhh...CAPTCHA - a tool which is designed to fence off spam and trolls (bad guys) is unfortunately, punishing potential customers, users (good guys) as well.  In fact, it's so common to come across one in websites nowadays, you would think it's a norm even though you made several wrong guesses, trying to figure out what're the characters.


captcha-impossible
Superscript, subscript, newline?
and the best goes to,
captcha-knows-best
As you wish, my lord

Below is some creative CAPTCHA methods I've found:

Name Tech Notes
MotionCAPTCHA HTML5, jQuery Simply my favourite, match drawing of a pattern
Qaptcha jQuery Similar to iProduct's screen unlock slider. Please note that the demo doesn't work properly, would recommend you to download the files and try it out.
Ajax Fancy CAPTCHA jQuery This is a fancy looking one but it's not hard for the bot to figure out which element is draggable.
