Hello all,
Yesterday I added a new CAPTCHA type to CAPTCHA Pack: ASCII art CAPTCHA. In this CAPTCHA the user is challenged with something like this:
888888ba 88888888b 888888ba 88888888b 88 `8b 88 88 `8b 88 a88aaaa8P' .d8888b. a88aaaa a88aaaa8P' a88aaaa dP dP 88 `8b. 88ooood8 88 88 88 88 88 88 88 88. ... 88 88 88 88. .88 dP dP `88888P' 88888888P dP 88888888P `88888P'
or this:
__ __ ____ __ __ _____ ___ _ __ ___ \ \ / / | _ \ \ \/ / |_ _| / _ \ | '_ ` _ \ \ \ /\ / / | |_) | \ / | | | (_) | | | | | | | \ V V / | _ < / \ | | \__, | |_| |_| |_| \_/\_/ |_| \_\ /_/\_\ |_| /_/
More than 20 fonts are included (based on the font definitions from http://www.figlet.org/).
I expect this to be a hard one for the spam bots to solve.
Tell me what you think.
PS. It's currently only available in the development snapshot, not yet in the official release.
PS2. the CAPTCHA for submitting this story sucks, especially because I previewed it several times.

Haha
Hahah, very neat idea!
Awesomme!!
soxofaan, you rock! Thanks for all your hard work on this module!
I used to use this
I used to use this with another floss software but i forgot what. It works and very well also.
The problem is the accessibility. But this is the same problem for all.
Still using ascii art captcha in Drupal 10
Even though the "Captcha Pack" is distant history, I am stlll using the ascii_art_captcha as a custom module in Drupal 10, had to modify just one line for the font directory lookup, still works great. Thank you.
