BlaqkAudio Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Nice. Better than typing out texts. Still doesn't solve the problem with bot sites tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
λngelღмander Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I thought they had cleared most of the bot websites from the trade offer captcha thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost lost several keys of profit because of it. Automatic works for me as does regular trade as well. Fucking volvo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HusKy Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Still doesn't help sites like bazaar.tf , backpack.tf , trade.tf , csgolounge, dota2lounge, etc. They are just countering the malware which was updated couple hours after the original captcha was added.

Merndy Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 It's not used like that because a click can be replicated from a robot, the reason it's a picture of a couple of letters is because a simple program can't just read that picture's letters. All the program would see is a picture, and try to copy a picture into it. That's why it's not like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no_clue97 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 This should of been done a long time ago. Allot of transactions websites use some type of captcha. Still, Valve needs to get off their buts and stop all of those 'I got hijacked' stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

☾Link✞Skorpion☽ Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 details? A couple hours (Possibly minutes) after the original addition and announcement of this, twitter account Steam Stealer said they'd updated their systems to bypass the CAPTCHA program. reCAPTCHA is supposedly more secure and harder to bypass (Albeit much more frustrating for some users), which is why it replaced CAPTCHA. I'm not having any issues with this. When I only get the top quarter of the picture I just fullscreen the window and that seems to do it. Otherwise I think F5ing the page and may fix it by giving you a different form of reCAPTCHA, hopefully the "Click Here!" kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisco++ Killstreaks.tf Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 It's not used like that because a click can be replicated from a robot, the reason it's a picture of a couple of letters is because a simple program can't just read that picture's letters. All the program would see is a picture, and try to copy a picture into it. That's why it's not like that. Incorrect, text based CAPTCHA's haven't been an effective form of preventing bots from accessing a service for a while now. Automated programs can indeed read CAPTCHA images and solve them. Example: https://github.com/ptigas/simple-captcha-solver Thats just the first result on google. Any blackhat programmer would be able to easily find much better librarys for doing this, and apparently they did because a few hours after the initial CAPTCHA images got added the steamstealer virus had reportedly already added the ability to read them.

BOOM! Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 The malware got updated ~2 hours after the reCaptcha update. Seems like this is going nowhere. True, I don't see how this update fixes anything. Programs such as DeathByCaptcha we're implemented into stealers, now its even easier for them.

«R3db34r» Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 becuase its so hard for steam to make users that want to trade or send trade offers have premium status and a steam level over 1 ....capcha and recapcha are just lame duck atempts to say they are doing something about phishers and scammers.
