Description
Hi, recently, my anonymous trac web site had a kind of "distributed" attacks. that tried to post some abused contents to the wiki, ticket from about 400-500 ip addresses in the same time. also tried to create new tickets. I disabled the anonymous creation/modification of wiki/ticket due to this kind of attack.
It will be nice if the trac has a feature to validate the poster is a human with the image in anonymous create/modification mode.
Thanks!

Sorry that I didn't search enough. I will try SpamFilter first.
What I tried to suggest was http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captcha
Thanks!

Let me reopen so that you consider about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captcha
But it is okay to close this ticket again if you think SpamFilter could be good enough.
Thanks for reponse.

A captcha is a bit out of scope of the Trac core, as already reported in other tickets and ML discussions.
This feature could be implemented as a plugin, when the required extension points are made available.
See also the following discussion threads:
I'm not sure to understand what is your exact request, what do you mean with "with the image" ?
If you think about a captcha-like feature, see #1145. Check also the same ticket for a discussion about SpamFilter.
More advanced feature would be implemented as a plugin anyway, so I'm closing this ticket as wontfix. Feel free to re-open it if you have a more detailled request, which should be implemented in Trac core rather than within a plugin.
