BotDetect ASP CAPTCHA 2.0.9.0

BotDetect ASP CAPTCHA 2.0.9.0 is designed as a website security solution (component) to protect your registration, comment, poll, guestbook, content submission, and other online forms from automated spam submissions. It generates CAPTCHA images with textual code rendered in them that are easily decipherable to humans -- but not to spam bots. In essence, it allows you to focus on your code or content -- instead of on deleting spam. While computer programs cannot read the textual code from the image, it is easy to read for humans.

CAPTCHA is an acronym for Completely Automated Public Turing Test to Tell Computers and Humans Apart. As the name suggests, it's a kind of test that can determine the probability of the solver being human, allowing webmasters to tell bots and humans apart.

Captcha software is a program that can automatically generate and grade tests that:

• Most real human users can pass
• Current bots (various computer programs) can't pass

With the exponential growth of services and businesses over the Internet, website security has become a real concern for webmasters and web application developers.

Software programs are written to impersonate human beings, mimic their surfing patterns, and imitate online activities for various malicious purposes. These "pretending to be human" programs are referred to as bots (short for "robots"), spambots, or spam bots.

Lanapsoft BotDetect CAPTCHA is an efficient out-of-the-box security solution designed to deal with this threat. Developer Edition includes FULL SOURCE CODE and ROYALTY FREE distribution rights!
