And really easy to use, using it on every site now...
Created by Fabiano 'Wundo' Sant'Ana, The CAPTCHA module is great for stopping spam posts and automated account creation on a Drupal site. It gives you the ability to set a CAPTCHA on any Drupal form, which has come in handy on this site as I have been receiving emails similar to this recently:

Looks like some one is testing their blog spam script. Anyway the CAPTCHA module helps stop this by requiring users to enter either the alphanumerics displayed in a picture or by asking a question such as
'What is the fifth word in the phrase "yasev iko epeha huvo usa"?:'.
The image-based CAPTCHA has a variety for options as to what it shows. You can set the following:
The great thing about this is that you can make your CAPTCHA images unique, and therefore harder for these guys to crack! The CAPTCHA module is available for Drupal 4.7, 5 & 6, and is still in active development.
The module is very easy to use and install. This is an essential feature. The math captcha is possibly even "fun".
This module has a lot of little features that make it great. The ability to add captchas to any form is really useful.
The true strength of this module lies in the fact that it provides an API for other modules to plug into. This means you can extend it to provide many different types of captchas.
I suggest checking out Captcha Riddler, it's a great addition to this module.
I love the API behind it!
"I got this module working today and it is an excellent addition. Some time back, I tried to install FCKeditor..."
"Little raw around the edges, but what an awesome module! Absolute must if you ever want to allow non-technical..."
