Hi, does captcha sniper support recaptcha ?

No, nothing will ever support ReCaptcha because it's from Google. Do you really think Blackhatters can compete with a billion-dollar top 5 company in the world? Even if they did, Google will just update it the second they know someone was able to crack their code to a rate of 40-45% (like XRumer a while back) and make it impossible again. That's why it's the Holy Grail of Captchas.

LOL, the developer just got BANNED from this forum! I guess there goes the update...

It will only be temporary Hopefully he comes back with a winning attitude and some good news on the update for all of his customers

 

[carlito]

now he's gonna have time for the update

[/sarcastic mode off]

hey mods, unban this guy, I think he's doing his best to help...

 

[carlito]

A little question concerning updates, do we have to download them and install them on our pc or the tool updates by itself each time you launch it??

 

[cody41]

I can tell mwoody has spent some time on the commercial dev side of things offline Well thought out response post.

Dev/Client transparency is a bitch to handle, from my experience. Hence in major dev houses, you have a marketing side, a management side, milestones to reach and meet from the devs, and regression testing and qa to pass. Within the IM industry there are very, and I mean, very few software vendors that go that route due to the scope of some of these software packages. Mikey et al may be over their heads at this point, but someone needs to bring some order to their chaos and add some structure to the client facing arena. Just my 2 cents.

I thought this was andrey's job to interface with clients etc. etc. But I haven't seem him post in this thread for a while. I wonder if something happened?

Ok guys, sorry to leave you in the dark for a while but as I have mentioned earlyer, I was facing some personal issues.

I have discussed with Mike andd I will be the only one handling the thread from now on.

So just to be clear, support goes this route from now on:

a: I will be the only one answering to your needs here on bhw
b: In case you wish to contact us directly via support email you can do it by emailing us at :
1: support[at]captchasniper[dot]com
2: andrei[at]captchasniper[dot]com
c:For all license related issues and activation only email us at: license[at]captchasniper[dot]com
d:If support via email, bhw or by checking out our guide book won't solve the issue, we will be available for tv sessions via skype:


Now, I would first like to try to calm down everyone. This has gotten out of hand and it is clearly not the goal here. I am not saying that you guys are not right but from what i see Mike also had a point and that was the actual discussion and it should have never gotten out of hand.

I can fully understand that everyone was eager for updates since the error kept happening to several users. He didn't lie about that we wheren't able to reproduce it on our systems. I have tried it on my machine and on my vps as well and it never stopped. This is the actual reason why it was called an isolated bug because it wasn't something every user exeprienced as we have discussed this with severaal of our customers.

Now, in the end he managed to identify the issue but the delay is because he wanted to make absolutely sure that this won't happen again. It wouldn't be much use for us or you guys, to launch the update and come back a week or a few days later and say it is still not working and then argue some more about it.

Now, I can understand him since he is also human and since I was facing issues and was away he had to deal with everything alone. He has to deal with 100-200 support emails per day and trust me guys, not all of them are beeing solved right away, then code some more in order to get the latest update out and let's not forget we all have family lives here which need our attention as well....trust me guys, it's not an easy task.


So, bottom line is, I will be the only one handling this thread from now on and let's make the best out of it and help each other out......as it usually was. Getting into fight's and arguing won't help any side. And believe me guys, we are happy if we get the bugs reported because this is what progress is in my opinion.......error>>>>solution

So, the update is ready and is undergoing some heavy blasts in AMR, BMD and so on, to make sure it won't crash ever.

This will go on through the night and if everything goes well, we will launch it first thing tomorrow. So only thing I ask from you guys, that we all get back to what it is that was happening in this thread and continue what it was that we have built here.

thank you for your patience and understanding

Thanks for the update Andrey. Let us know if we can partake in the testing since we want to help in improving this product.

Thank you for understanding, I will update everyone tomorrow and let you guys know what happened during our tests. Hopefully everything will go well and the update will be launched by tomorrow. Of course if your help is needed I will post

Hey Andrey, Can you pm paypal info please?

 

[Anon752]

For the third time now since many can't bother to read even just a few posts on this very page. The very much isolated bug that causes tesseract to hang has been fixed. Tesseract will still bug out, but it won't hang cs anymore.

Ill Also repeat myself yet again, the new version also includes the ability to save your settings.

Deki33 - you have been replied to... Multiple times

Dues - And no, the new version will not have any new Captcha types as id rather focus on these isolated bugs instead of new Captcha types.

Guys, please start reading at least the last page or two before posting, you're not adding any value to Thread by posting things that have been addressed just a few posts above. Also kinda makes you look silly

Now, back to coding so that i can get you guys what u need.

The problem that people are having is you saying "its an isolated bug". You keep repeating this. Over and Over. And its wrong. I have 5 copies of CS. All on different systems, different versions of windows. And all 5 of them do it. That is not isolated.

I am not attacking you, notice that I havent even really complained about it with 5 copies doing it. I used to program for a living, I know how it can go. So I am waiting for the fix.

I merely point this out because its the thing that bothers me, not the bug itself, but the repeated statements of "isolated".

The statement of isolated is because it couldn't be reproduced on several systems including ours. I don't doubt that all 5 of yours are facing the same issue and that people are experiencing it. But as mentioned, this issue is fixed and the update will sonn be released, hopefully today

 

[cdenet]

Please check your PM

Thanks. Done

 

[brumnick]

Just seen this thread and the way it has turned out. wow

I have spent a lot of time with Mikey on skype troubleshooting my issues with CS not responding to GSA after a period of time and he has got it sorted for me and found the root of the problem that will help everyone else out who has been having the same difficulties.

I am sure if everyone has a bit more patience (even those who have lost all their patience!), I am certain he will deliver what he has said that he will over the last few pages in this thread and give those people the fix that they require.

Thanks for the response, I can wait for the fix until its ready. I understand that sometimes other features are only half developed when you all of the sudden have to fix something, and this makes it hard to release the fix. So do it right, not fast.

As for isolated, and the downplaying of the problem. Isolated would be one guy in Antarctica who had the problem once a week, maybe, sometimes. And the problem was intermittent. This one is not isolated

I think it may be isolated, as in only people with GSA encounter it
It seems that it's the growing trend, because of the high frequency of captchas associated with GSA as opposed to other software out there such as BMD

 

[djp3k05]

as deusexmachin said and I also said in a previous post, this is not happening to all people. but as always, the satisfied customers do not post here their feedback, only the customers with problems.
For me, CS worked for days and weeks without restarting it. Tested with Sick submitter, BMD and scrapebox.
I have full confidence in the developers and I'm sure this product will be greater with every update.

Captcha Sniper Platinum Edition has been released!




Whats new?


- A couple of bug fixes, the most notable of which is that when tesseract crashes it will no longer cause Captcha Sniper to hang. Please note that you might still see windows dialogs about tesseract, but it will have no effect on Captcha Sniper.


- Captcha Sniper will now load/save your platform and captcha type selections when you open/close the application.


- The GUI now shows the last three captchas and answers returned, the most recent one being in the top position.


- You can now save unknown captchas into the unknowncaptchas folder for using them later in Captcha Destruction Kit. This feature is available from the settings menu.


- The help and test files are now embedded within the app itself via a new menu 'Help' in the GUI.


- The GUI now has an additional status bar with the following stats:


1. Total Solved: This is a cummulative total number of answers given across all sessions. This # does not increment when double-click testing and can be changed via the text file SolvesCtr.txt in the Captcha Sniper folder
2. Current Solved: This is a cummulative total number of answers given for the current session. This # does not increment when double-click testing.
3. Size Conflicts: The number of selected captcha types that are the same image size.
4. Last Sovled: Date and Timestamp of the last captcha received via http and the answer given. This will not change for unknown captcha types.


- Size Conflicts: Captcha Sniper will now alert you that you have more than one of the same captcha image size selected which could cause the wrong algorithm to be used. The status bars will turn red and you will be shown the number of size conflicts on the new status bar. Additionally, each individual size captcha types that is selected and conflicting with another select type will be highlighted in yellow in the right hand window where the captcha types are shown.


- The status bars in the GUI will now be red and alert you to one of two conditions:


1. No captcha types are selected
2. You have size conflicts


- Destruction Kit - Right click the location of the captchas to open that url/folder


- Destruction Kit - New image processing command - contrast


- Destruction Kit - Delete button added to the image processing steps


- Destruction Kit - On the OCR tab, if you chose to segment the characters, the image segments are now shown in real time as they are being processed


All existing customers are in the process of receiving an email with download instructions.


Enjoy!
