What is Captcha Image?

In web when ever you are registering on any site normally they are asking at the end of page for enter Image code/Challenge Image/Image verification code etc. This type of image called Captcha Image.
If both match then displays above message
If both doesn't match then display above message
In the web, whenever you register on any site, normally they ask at the end of page for entering Image code/Challenge Image/Image verification code, etc. This type of image is called Captcha Image.
What is the Use of Captcha?
(Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captcha)
Captcha is a type of challenge-response test used in computing to ensure that the response is not generated by a computer. The process usually involves one computer (a server) asking a user to complete a simple test which the computer is able to generate and grade. Because other computers are unable to solve the CAPTCHA, any user entering a correct solution is presumed to be human.
A best technique to restrict automatic form submissions when developing a web page is to add some kind of verification. As per my knowledge, image verification is the best way, it’s also called Captcha image. In this process, dynamically we are creating an image with random string either string, number or alphanumeric and displaying it on the web page. After that, at the time of form submission, the user is asked to enter the same code in the text box as shown in that image. Once the form is submitted, then we can compare both auto generated value and entered by user because there is no other good way to protect your webworms from spammers (auto submission).
How Can We Do That?
Here is the detailed explanation with code snippets.
This is the default.aspx (partially):
<asp:Label ID="lblmsg" runat="server" Font-Bold="True"
ForeColor="Red" Text=""></asp:Label>
<br />
</div>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtimgcode" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<br />
<asp:Image ID="Image1" runat="server" ImageUrl="~/CImage.aspx"/>
<br />
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" onclick="Button1_Click" Text="Button" />
In the above code, there are three control
Label
controls to display message whether entered code is matched or not, TextBox
to take input from user and Image box to hold an image autogenerated by CImage.aspx page. Before that, we will see default.aspx.cs page code:protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (this.txtimgcode.Text == this.Session["CaptchaImageText"].ToString())
{
lblmsg.Text = "Excellent.......";
}
else
{
lblmsg.Text = "image code is not valid.";
}
this.txtimgcode.Text = "";
}
In button’s click event, we are just checking entered value with stored value in session. And we display the appropriate message on the screen.
CImage.aspx Page
Remove all the code except the first line.
The main code is here which is calling a method to generate random number string and passes it to the class file which will generate image with the same string and return it as a JPEG format.
Here are the details of the code:
using System.Drawing.Imaging;
public partial class CImage : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// Create a random code and store it in the Session object.
this.Session["CaptchaImageText"] = GenerateRandomCode();
// Create a CAPTCHA image using the text stored in the Session object.
RandomImage ci = new RandomImage(this.Session
["CaptchaImageText"].ToString(), 300, 75);
// Change the response headers to output a JPEG image.
this.Response.Clear();
this.Response.ContentType = "image/jpeg";
// Write the image to the response stream in JPEG format.
ci.Image.Save(this.Response.OutputStream, ImageFormat.Jpeg);
// Dispose of the CAPTCHA image object.
ci.Dispose();
}
// Function to generate random string with Random class.
private string GenerateRandomCode()
{
Random r = new Random();
string s = "";
for (int j = 0; j < 5;j++)
{
int i = r.Next(3);
int ch;
switch (i)
{
case 1:
ch = r.Next(0, 9);
s = s + ch.ToString();
break;
case 2:
ch = r.Next(65, 90);
s = s + Convert.ToChar(ch).ToString();
break;
case 3:
ch = r.Next(97, 122);
s = s + Convert.ToChar(ch).ToString();
break;
default:
ch = r.Next(97, 122);
s = s + Convert.ToChar(ch).ToString();
break;
}
r.NextDouble();
r.Next(100, 1999);
}
return s;
}
}
