I think it's safe to assume they're blowing past the challenges because they are. That is, they know some exploit that either bypasses the challenges or can look up the expected answers. Don't know what to do about it, though. I know nothing about this software.

Heard something recently along the lines that there's a common problem with login passwords where systems don't actually record them (for security reasons) but store a hashed version. (This is why when you call the help desk they can't actually tell you your password because they're can't actually see it, ever.)

Problem is that a bot can then access sites by using hashed versions of passwords (gives them more options of getting a hit) and then they're in.  But I guessing Abruzzi is on top of all that, and I appreciate his efforts (and anyone who's helping) in getting on top of the issue quick smart and doing what's been done...

Nice job
