Captcha Of Death

[Kandern97]

So, I'm not sure if this is a case of VirtualSource Bookshelf, or of my specific ebook, but after the script prints out the first set of pages, it comes up with a captcha the second time around. Of course, the halts the script right in it's tracks.

There's no way that you could script around the captcha...

If this is dependent on the client, is there a version of the older client floating around somewhere that I could download?

If anyone else has any ideas, I'd love to hear them. I need to have this textbook in a week, and I'm trying my hardest to get it to work. Frankly, I'm in over my head, so if you can help, I'd really appreciate it.

EDIT 1:

Hey everyone,

Here to confirm old clients don't work. If you have a new-er book, it probably will prompt you to download the latest version of the client to view it.

Since VitalSource just released this update with the Captcha protection, I suggest that we actually don't post our findings with exploits just yet.

They're likely going to be waiting to see how people might work around it and patch it, before a tool or script can be developed.

Give it time to cool down.

EDIT 2:

If you're reading this LifeAlgorithm, I have an idea I'd like to DM or email you with.

Thanks a lot the code works but for first two pages. the captcha is a death trap, the script won't go beyond as continue button is greyed out. If you have another script can you mail me at ydeepak2310@gmail.com
