[UPHPU] Breaking Captchas

[Kirk Ouimet]

Hi List,

 

My web host allows me to control how much RAM is available on my hosted
Linux VServer and charges me $1 for every 10 MB allocated. I wrote a script
this week that uses information from the Linux command "top" to scale
resources available based on current demand. Running the script ends up
saving me about $40/month. Everything was going great until they put a
Captcha on the page that my script uses to set my allocated resources.

 

Here's an example of their Captcha image:

I want to defeat it. Using PHP preferably. Anyone have any tips for me?
