#Why Minteye was meant to be cracked ##inventing CAPTCHAs without skill

Some days ago I read a post by Samuirai about him cracking the minteye CAPTCHA (cracking minteye captcha without skill) with the google speech2text api and two days later it was covered on Hack a day. For me, it was a really straightforward approach to crack such a CAPTCHA and it was something nobody really noticed or pointed out before. It also shows how little the developers have thought about the real usefulness and security behind their idea.

OS X Screencast to animated GIF

This gist shows how to create a GIF screencast using only free OS X tools: QuickTime, ffmpeg, and gifsicle.

Instructions

To capture the video (filesize: 19MB), using the free "QuickTime Player" application:

OpenVPN on Ubuntu 12.10 at DigitalOcean

Install OpenVPN

sudo apt-get install openvpn

Generate Server Certificates

sudo cp -r /usr/share/doc/openvpn/examples/easy-rsa/2.0 /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa2

cd /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa2

Each of these commands will run an ad hoc http static server in your current (or specified) directory, available at http://localhost:8000. Use this power wisely.
