Securimage CAPTCHA provides a way for users of forms to verify they are human by entering a series of characters read from an image or audio sample. Compared to other CAPTCHA methods, Securimage:
- is completely open-source
- does not rely on a third-party server
- provides an HTML5 or Flash-based audio version of the challenge, for users with visual disabilities
- is highly configurable
Installation:
- Download the Securimage library, version 3.6.4 or later. Uncompress it, and move it to your
libraries
folder, usuallysites/all/libraries
. Use the folder namesecurimage
. - Install and activate the CAPTCHA and Libraries API modules.
- In order to use MP3 audio format, which works in more browsers than the Flash-based playback method, the LAME audio processor (https://sourceforge.net/projects/lame/) needs to be installed on your system. Most Linux distributions include this as a package.
- Activate the Securimage module.
Configuration:
Use the main CAPTCHA configuration page, admin/config/people/captcha
, to enable Securimage for one or more forms. Use the Securimage CAPTCHA tab, admin/config/people/captcha/securimage
, to configure settings specific to Securimage.
