Captchas without server state

(From collective.captcha)

A view to generate a captcha image and/or wav file, and to verify user input against it.

A cookie is used to transfer state from one request to the next. The state is used, together with a server-side secret, to create a random string of characters, which in turn is displayed as a captcha image, or transformed to an audio file. Verification happens case-insensitively.

Note that the captcha ‘word’ is only usable for 5-10 minutes, after which the view will not accept it any more. Moreover, a different word will be generated for a given session key every 5 minutes.

This makes these captchas replayable for up to 10 minutes if a determined user keeps sending the same session id. Because of the server-secret though, captchas are not transferrable between sites.

Changelog

1.0 (2011-06-29)

  • Use hashlib module by default. [thomasdesvenain]

  • Zope 2.13 imports (removes warnings under Plone 4.1) [thomasdesvenain]

1.0b2 - 2010-09-02

  • Specify allowed_attributes for the captcha view, so the image/audio pages are accessible in Zope 2.12.9+. [hannosch]

  • Move to plone.app.discussion-captcha feature declaration to meta.zcml. [timo]

  • Fix verify method for empty string input values. This is necessary for plone.app.discussion 1.0b5 compatibility. [timo]
