FAR3 Color Tuner

Although FAR3 haven't been officially released, you already can get some builds here.

For those who doesn't know it's free (BSD-like license) console file manager for Windows, like Total Commander. Besides of the freeness it has a big amount of plugins for almost every business. Earlier all they could be get from the plugring but now it seems that not all authors use it. You can also find plugins on the forum but you probably have to know Russian :).

One of the main (at least for me) feature of the 3.0 version is truecolor support (with ConEmu ONLY. I use "Maximus5" version).

FAR3 Color Tuner program provides quick and easy color control. It can tune standard colors and file highlight colors:

You can load, save, export and import colors.

All colors are being converted to truecolor.

Attached config have the following colors:

Preventing of Submiting JQuery.UI Dialogs on Return

Look at the usual JQuery.UI dialog example. It works the same way as the official site example - you can press Enter in the fields and nothing will happen. But check out this one. It submits the form (dialog).

You may think that the workaround is to add a hidden input field:

<input type="hidden" />

but it doesn't work. Adding the normal text input hidden by css will help:

<input type="text" style="display: none;" />

Another way is to remove the <form> tag, but it isn't suitable if you have many fields and want use serialize.

reCAPTCHA Recognition

A few days ago I was required to pass reCAPTCHA for many times. And I noticed that it's being accepted even if it's wrong. So, I decided to examine how accurately it works.

The result was sad :).

While Chad Houck and Jason Lee broke the captcha on DEF CON 18 it has another vulnerability.

I tested percentage of wrong accepting and some of them are shown below.

Distance	Accepted?	Right / Wrong	Image
1	Y	gromor prolog gromor prolok
1	Y	dentl anthony dentl anghony
2	Y	any etiation anq etiotion
2	Y	121 cipansi 125 cipafsi
2	Y	bilii three biliy threee
3	Y	meolo scc meelo scoo
3	Y	flowered crocc flaweted croqc

You can see that accuracy is not very high. Codes with up to three errors were accepted almost all the time. Codes with four errors were accepted very rarely. Also I didn't notice that letter matching matters.

I haven't yet need to break Google's reCAPTCHA but I have already known one of its weakness. You can use it too - don't waste much your attention recognizing the words, like I did before I got this :).
