On this page I will list some of the ways to defeat Bots I know about. Please let me know if there are others spells against Bots that are out there.
Captcha (against all Bots)
A CAPTCHA
(an acronym for "completely automated public Turing test to tell computers and humans apart", trademarked by Carnegie Mellon University) is a type of challenge-response test used in computing to determine whether or not the user is human.

PWNtcha (against all Captcha's)
PWNtcha is software designed to crack Captcha. PWNtcha stands for "Pretend We're Not a Turing Computer but a Human Antagonist", as well as PWN capTCHAs. This project's goal is to demonstrate the inefficiency of many captcha implementations.

Gaim Bot Sentry (against Chat Bot)
