Good idea there, I should have come up with that! Anyone who tried this yet?

I’ve got to say, this is one of the coolest ideas I’ve seen in a long time. I think this needs to be t&ted. Now, where’s my server?

A proxy is a good idea, but it’s too much work for lazy people like me.

Instead, just use the fact that myspace users are dumb to your advantage.

Send out a bulletin offering a free ipod, tv, rimjob, or whatever to your friends, and then hit them with the captcha before they get to see the offer. The thing is, there is never an offer because they keep entering in the captcha “wrong.”

You can get up to 5-10 captchas entered with each person who comes to your site.

That’s a great idea! This blog is addicting…I find myself on here daily for a little jump start for idea. Keep up the great post!

Nice idea. Can you monetize the proxy?

Another great Blue Hat Seo idea! Now I just gotta convert all my proxy sites into myspace acccount makers and we are good to go… looks like I may have to consult with some cheap indian programmers after all.

There is still one more issue to contend with, and that is all the same accounts being signed up from the same IP.

You’ll need to find reliable proxies to send all these queries through or in the end, the accounts will be shut down I suspect.

Interesting tactic. Has it been worthwhile?

Nice one Eli. Think I am going to have to try something like this.

Side note.

Joseph T released an out of the box script for MySpace recently called Spacepromoter and since I like to see what people are doing with these things I checked a few of my accounts for friends requests.

Pretty funny what I found. 20 friends requests with 2 different screen names and the exact same custom profile layout except for the display picture. Everything else on page was the same.

I guess I am ranting because people need to customize a little. How long do you think it’s going to take a normal net user to realize they are getting the same requests over and over? Granted there are some morons out there but when it gets this obvious…. Jesus.

lol, thats hilarious.

good idea too.

Ah captcha blow-through scripts…well I guess this tactic is no longer worth doing now that its been outed…lol, oh well.

Actually this is nothing new, and has been talked about plenty in other places…not that I’m going to say where

Keep in mind that this violates the TOS of most sites and they could sue you under some vague ‘improper use’ law, so be very careful doing this.

So what if your on the flip-side of this…how can you protect your site from these blow-throughs?

Check for the IP doing the captcha pull. See if I’m pulling your captcha to my site to have someone fillout then you will see the same IP making requests (generally, unless they are using a botnet…then more advanced tactics are required).

Also, bots have trouble doing js or flash…so just make your captcha require one of these.

Nothing new: [2] http://boingboing.net/2004/01/27/solving_and_creating.html

I successfuly implemented this technique about one year and a half ago on a free hosting plan.
The PHP script is really easy to code (fsockopen or cURL do the job). The (not so) hard part was to automate the creation of email adresses for each account and to click on the confirmation link that was sent to me after the CAPTCHA validation. Hopefully, at this time, I had found a website offering webmail based email adresses on about 50 different domains. Account opening wasn’t requiring captcha on this site, so it was easy to create a script opening email adresses and scraping the webmail for the link to click. The site doesn’t exist anymore, but the same can be achieved with disposable email services.
Although, some websites allow only a certain amount of accounts per IP per day, so I also had to build a web based TOR gateway.

The whole thing didn’t require more than two days (actually, nights) of work, and it really worth it.

I agree the idea is really starting to move around the net. About time if you ask me. I’ve heard the free porn idea too, along with about a half dozen others. I’d really recommend the webproxy one though. It works better than any of these ideas i’ve ever seen.

As far as your email problem, someone mentioned this in a recent comment(i don’t remember which) but you could use a catch-all email account. So you don’t have to continually create accounts.

I tried the catch-all email account, but my domain was surprisingly banned after one week…

when i ran into that problem i mixed it up randomly. So i’d get a 100 domains with the catch all and use those randomly. So they wouldn’t ban them.

but i don’t want to turn this into a how to spam myspace discussion. So we’ll keep it focused on the webproxy idea

yep, proxies are always a good idea when creating spam accounts.

Hows this for an idea?
What if you find someone with an already established webproxy and you pay them per captcha. They pull your script in an iframe to the user. it passes the url the user was wanting to go to. The user types in the captcha, the script says ok click here to continue than links to the continue url with a target=_top. Than you pay say .25/captcha

btw since i posted this my webproxy has already gotten 236,000 pageviews so far today. haha. Maybe i shouldn’t of linked to it. All well.

Hi Eli.

This is a great idea.

Would you mind making some comments on other effective ways to monetize proxies while doing the captchas with them? After all, if we aren’t making money off the excess proxy traffic, we are just leaving it out there for someone else…

Another twist on this is using torrents to your advantage. Just head to mininova, see what the top downloads are, grab some files, .rar them with passwords, and re-torrent them.

Include a text file in the torrent that directs them to grab the password at your website. When they go to your site, have them enter the captcha to access the password.

More accounts than you’ll know what to do with.

Eli,
Love the idea and I am very interested in implementing it but can you provide more info on how to pass the Captcha to myspace.

There’s a program written in vb that automates things:

Universal Account Creator:
[3] http://uac.sourceforge.net/

Anyone have any template they want to share for it?

Sorry, but this is very old idea of many people… You can even use Amazon web services for that.

any other good uses for proxies?

Man the stuff you guys come up with…amazing!

You should just pay some teenagers or people in India to enter captchas for you for 5 cents each. =) Since most sites only require a captcha for every so many actions, like myspace only requires one every 5 comments after you do more than 50 comments in a day this is usually a good solution.

@GlobalWarming:
i created the Universal Account Creator.
you could use it for this sort of thing, but the OCR engine is probably no way near good enough for myspace (well i haven’t seen it but i assume it would be well developed).
but there is an option in the Fields Config Creator to enter the captcha yourself (haha if i can remember corretcly, if not i might add it).

i’m hoping to add proxy support to my account creator but atm i’m just using a 3rd party prog that changes after each internet explorer page surfed (which it uses).

This is you?
[4] http://uac.sourceforge.net/

I just found that a couple weeks ago. Great stuff!

what about using [5] www.captchasolver.com web service?

[6] http://zelune.net - Free proxy script that you can upload and have it working within minutes. It is a lot less complicated than php/cgiproxy.

If anyone wants to code the captcha system, I will pay you. Let me know.

How about moneterising all those visits and page views? Are advertisers willing to advertise on proxies??

We are already working on some other captcha system for auto-scripts. I think that we could also do it for myspace.
So Collin, if yopu need somebody to code the captcha sys, don´t hesitate to contact me.

lol that is freakin brilliant, its actually my next project, ive got a few spare domains to make into proxies, use one for makeing accounts the others, for msging and commenting.

its a neat idea but operating several of these proxy sites needs a lot of server resources

nice match captcha!

anyway I have heard of this captcha proxying done with a strip poker game, you win the hand but before the girl next to your opponent shows, you have to answer the captcha. brilliant.

Nice idea. I myself don’t need to do something like this right now, but it’s always good to know the techniques.

Thanks.

I understand this idea, and its fine, but I don’t know how can I make money from creating myspace accounts, or creating email adresses. Where is the money in this spamming thing?

That’s a good idea. Now i am looking for captcha entry work. i am ginny from china, i have a group of persons who can type 10,000 per day. we can enlarge the labor when necessary. If you have good projects, pls contact me. CDY_2001 AT 163 DOT COM

Brilliant post, thanks.

Interesting idea… Do you know whether Google Adsense is allowed on such sites?

Awesome idea dude. I was thinking of opening a proxy site just to see how it goes. I will definitely try this method to see how well it works on proxy sites.

Proxy is great idea .But i think it can be take a lot of time to found the system exactly .Thank ou for the post

Great idea. Will try it out to get some extra backlinks.

Thats genius. Although if you are following the seo empire guide, another site (for getting proxies) could be used as a cycle site or something, so may aswell be done anyway.

sorry typo. I meant (for getting captchas)

The last option was the best, it was great but once(echo) I get a dedicated server only then can I implement the ideas that are pushing around in my head!

This sounds like a good idea.

Not sure if this is a good strategy.

I’m i proxy admin and i can atest to how easy it is to set up a proxy and this is a great idea to pull some usefulness out of them

The trick is, just build a tool that would do whatever you would do, based on the current situation. The situation of course can be defined by what we all know and study everyday of our professional SEM lives, Search Engine Factors. So the best place to begin is there

Since the tool will make its decisions based on stuff you consider to be factors search engines use to rank your sites, making a list of all the known factors is a big help. Sit and write down every search engine factor you can think of. Break them down to specifics. Don’t just write “links.” Write Link Volume, Link quality, links on unique domains, percentage of links with my anchor text..etc.

Each of those are a factor that when explored by either going to your own site, or going to the search engines can result in some sort of figure or number you can use to calculate how your site fairs in comparison to the sites currently ranking

That’s a good idea. Now i am looking for captcha entry work. i am ginny from china, i have a group of persons who can type 10,000 per day. we can enlarge the labor when necessary.

Great idea. I have never thought this was possible.

If a company or person is willing to outfit various popular sites, then there are always many ways to outwit captchas.

Nice posting!
great article.
i learn many things from this article.

Thanks

I try to use your idea in my own way.

I have kept it up for the sake of getting more and more genuine information.

this is a very good article to make one to understand need of capthca in programing and specially at in form filling section.

Good idea, but even humans get some capchas wrong, some are incredibly hard to see.

Why do this? When you can pay someone 3 dollars a day for thoasands of broken captchas… it would cost more to host the server

anyone else scroll down to the comment box after reading this half expecting to find a captcha? =P

ahhhh….guys can you make some simple software and put a download of it, coz i m not a technical person and i dont know about any programing things, so plz give me some solution becoz i m a data entry worker from Pakistan, i have to put 3000 captchas daily, its not easy to get a job here so thats why i m doing this, and now i think there could be a software….plz help and reply to email

I do agree with you on this article, although I read from another blog something different from what you are saying.

Anyway thank you for your review.

All the best!

And setting up a proxy server has never been easier, thanks to a little company in California called “Google.” All you have to do is use a free Google Apps account (with 1gb bandwidth available daily per application–you can have 10 applications) and the mirrorrr proxy to set this up.

This tutorial [8] http://www.labnol.org/internet/setup-proxy-server/12890/ will get you going in 5 minutes.

I haven’t tried this, but all you’d have to do to load the CAPTCHA would be to modify the “main.html” file to include a script or image from your server containing it, or use an iframe.

Using torrent was a good idea but I will go and try Opening a proxy. I want to try this and see what will happen..

Thanks for this informative post. Good to know this.

[9] Jane

thanks for giving me such useful and great technique,this will help me in future.

thanks again!

Really Good Post,

This is a very good technique to decode captchas for free, but it will have to weakpoints:

- The solve time per captcha can be pretty high (over 1-2 minutes)

- The % of corrected solved captchas may be pretty low.

Besides that, I applaud your creativity.

This is a great thread to keep us thinking out of the box

I like this idea,thanks for suggesting it!

This post is extremely lucrative and by using captcha code you have made it extremely unique.

Great information of how to make money online. that is really great information. i am new here in online business and seo so your tips will help me a lot. so, thanks for sharing this information.

thanks!!

I am always confused about the word “captcha code” please help me.

Awesome idea dude. I was thinking of opening a proxy site just to see how it goes. I will definitely try this method to see how well it works on proxy sites.

Although this was a time of Moncler Winter Jackets – think Wall Street, “greed is good” and so on, one of the Moncler Coats Women was, of course, the oil industry, so this part of Moncler Jackets Men was indubitably where the money was. It was a decade dedicated to conspicuous consumption, Moncler Coats Women and branding yourself with designer labels. Moncler Women went from wanting to marry the millionaire to wanting to be the millionaire, and so shows such as Moncler Boots weren’t just television fiction, they reflected the attitude and aesthetic of the time, as well as the financial power wielded

Wow… I need to try this out… Hope it still works

This is definitely a great idea

Wow I am going to try this, thanks Eli.

In-cre-di-ble!

I hate these captchas :p

i agree..free captcha typers are uber cool

For this very much technical knowleadge need.

The software was initially developed by the Army; now it’s free … on captcha boxes while making them easier to solve in the process.
