I would not be at all surprised if this is not already possible, if not yet
then soon.

The "text" in a gif is not in text (string) form, it is a picture so there
is
no real way to extract it except OCR - but these security images are
designed
to be resistant to attempts to read/convert them, and as Nick said the
reason
for that should be obvious. Frankly, if you or anyone were successful in
finding a way to read the text with an automated process, you should tell
your company that their security is not adequate. So the best result you
should hope for is that your attempt will fail!

Hi!

I'm trying to code a testing application for my company's website which
will
try out all combinations of option buttons, list-box selections etc to
make
sure everything works out as expected.

Unfortunately I've hit a brick wall when faced with the GIF "random
security
code generator" image. Could someone please detail how to decrpyt the
text in
the gif? Any API functions or similar that can be used to assist in this
goal?

The URL for the GIF pwd generator is available here (just temporarily
until
I can get past it with your help!):

Many thanks in advance everyone! I really appreciate any light you can
shed
on this!
