KillBot Professional 2 Now Available

NotOneBit — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 03:22:17 +0000

We are proud to announce that KillBot Professional 2, an enterprise-class strength CAPTCHA solution is now available. KillBot Professional, the web’s original Flash CAPTCHA, builds upon the strengths of KillBot to create a truly dynamic form of authentication. Even stronger than the image-based version, KillBot Professional uses Flash to constantly keep the security code in some form of motion so that humans can easily read it while computer’s can’t. KillBot Professional generates over 65 MILLION codes, not counting the variations created via the various Flash effects. It’s so good it’s in use by the United States Federal Government.

In this release we have completely overhauled the logic and made security our primary focus. It’s now impossible to derive the code being generated from the KillBot source files as the logic that generates the code doesn’t exist with the Flash movie. We’ve also added many different Flash effects that obfuscate the code enough to make it virtually impossible for computers to discern the code, yet easy enough for humans to read. Now characters can fade, rotate, move, blur, and more.

Note that with the release of KillBot Professional 2, we also have updated KillBot Professional with Audio.

No your eyes aren’t deceiving you nor have we sold out to some big eastern syndicate. NotOneBit may have a new look but we’re still focused on web development and design. While CafeScripts and related store are gone, we’re still committed to creating great applications like Simple Mailing List, Download Manager, Flash Scratch Off, and KillBot to name a few. We’re also focusing more of our resources on helping individuals and small and mid-sized business with their web development needs.

Welcome to the New NotOneBit

NotOneBit — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 17:03:44 +0000

After months of developing a new look and layout for NotOneBit we are happy to debut our new home. Notice anything different? We’ve updated our look and focused on the work that we’ve been doing for our clients, which involved custom JavaScript (mainly jQuery) and PHP/MySQL. The look of our site was beginning to show its age and was in desperate need of being updated, especially considering that our business is web design and development (sometimes you find yourself so wrapped up in doing work for others that you neglect your own site). We hope you enjoy the new look and focus of NotOneBit and welcome any feedback you have.

CafeScripts Discontinued

NotOneBit — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 18:54:42 +0000

It is with a touch of sadness that I am announcing the end of life for CafeScripts. As of September 31, 2008 CafeScripts will no longer be sold and as of October 31, 2008 CafeScripts will no longer be supported. Nearly five years ago I set out to develop a way for web site owners to showcase the items that they designed to sell on CafePress on their own web site. Until that point, anyone that designed an item to sell on CafePress was limited to displaying it on CafePress’ web site. As if it wasn’t bad enough that CafePress already took a cut of what you sold, you had to hand over your web traffic to them too. CafeScripts filled that void by allowing web site owners to display their wares on their own site with many customization options. Sadly, CafePress never released a comprehensive API that allowed developers a way to fully exploit their service and developers relied upon complex (and often messy) data retrieval methods which occasionally were stymied by changes to CafePress’ site. While I am proud of developing CafeScripts, the time has come to move on to new projects and devote my time to other challenges.
