Spam
Does anyone know where is the bug that allow auto registrations in vBulltion forums ?
I'm still seraching and testing since yesterday without any results for how we can register in a forum automatically and bypass the captcha check ...
I don't think that there is some ppl who's working only for register in forums to spam !! so if anyone know any informations about this tell me ... of course i want to know for security reasons not for spamming !
And if I get any results I'll share them here ... thanks.

Thanks J for informations, yes we have here a weak captcha and with some image processing and letter recognition we can guess it...
Hack did you mean 50 per day ? this is too much and I would suggest to use a stronger captcha there is too many open source captcha generators all over the internet ...

Well, from what I understand you had a firewall, but didn't want to pay for it, right?

I had a firewall, but I don't use it anymore to not pay those 100$/m anymore ...
I want :
1- strongly recommend to re-use it and why ...
2- alternate cheaper than checkpoint's firewall [but not very bad like **]
3- suggest to buy the software once and install it manually at the server
4- other suggestions ...
**: because sometimes anti-virus and anti-spy become close to virus according to the control and bugs they have, and the low experience of the implementation . checkpoint is PERFECT and i'm plaining to use it again but now what ?
