Why use Antibot technology?

Here are some reasons to use Vorras Antibot or similar technology:

  • Spam:
    Spam can be stopped using Antibot technology by presenting a secret character sequence to the sender of a message, thus preventing automatic email sending. This will substantially reduce spam, since spammers cannot afford to send emails one by one to their recipients, and typically use special software to automatically send thousands of emails.
  • Online Polls:
    To ensure that an online poll is fair and that no robot is used to vote multiple times, Antibot technology can be very useful.
  • Online account registrations:
    Any account registration may be flooded with thousands of registrations using software. From these accounts hackers or spammers may launch other attacks. For example, a robot may be used to register thousands of email accounts on Yahoo! and then use these accounts to send spam, making it difficult for anti-spam software to detect them by sender email address.
  • Password attacks:
    Antibot technology can be used to prevent software from exhaustively trying out passwords in order to gain access on a system.
  • Search engine crawlers:
    Search engine crawlers may be prevented from entering restricted areas of web sites, especially if the crawlers are not respecting special html tags or robots.txt files.
