Using AI to beat CAPTCHA and post comment spam

L337 subtitle = How 2 0wnz blogz :)

Interesting stuff, with an odd methodology (trying things live rather than keeping it all in an Academic sandbox) which, I think, will have the desired effect of stirring things up. The comments about harnessing a human farm of CAPTCHA beaters is sad, but ultimately true and just the same as outsourcing to third world counties for cheap labour.

ah, so that’s what they do next, then

Ok, commenting is effectively disabled, so this morning there are 15 trackback spam links…

Just in case anyone wondered what ‘they’ do next, and yes, for the moment Trackback has been disabled (if it turns out to be an exploit rather than a real Trackback, then it’ll be back on again once it’s patched).
