Extension:Asirra

What's this?
Asirra extension is based on Extension:ConfirmEdit by Brion Vibber which provides various CAPTCHA tools for MediaWiki for protection against spambots and other automated tools.

The Asirra Service itself is powered by Microsoft. Users have to distinguish cat images from dog images, a task which is easy for humans but difficult for bots.
