[UPHPU] Breaking Captchas

[Kirk Ouimet]

I’m too lazy to go through the effort of migrating 30 domains to another host, but I’m not too lazy to learn how to write a script that does OCR on a distorted text. I was hoping my screen scrapers in the house would have some insight on the problem because I’m sure it is something encountered frequently when harvesting web data.

Here’s the best that a Google search has yielded:

Too bad I have no idea how to implement this into my web application. Also, for the record, I need to actually load up the page once because it contains a security key that I need to scrape. The security key is then sent with the POST data to change my allocated resources.
