Not sure how much it will help, as the bots were able to create accounts by solving the captcha. HTTPS is no longer something hard to get in any application. So far so good with the new system, no spammer got that familiar with Kamailio modules :-), but there were few new valid accounts.

Some ideas about improving the security of the site:
1. Drop http connections for authentication pages
You actually need to fix Firefox -- I struggled yesterday a bit with same situation. The certificate is actually new, generated yesterday and signed by CACert.org. The previous one was selfsigned, from openser times, expired for few years.2. Fix the kamailio.org certificate. At the moment the identity of the domain can't be established as there is no issuer chain provided with it.
From Firefox information page:
I had to try other browsers to check if works, because Firefox was displaying some error. Then I went back to stable channel from beta channel without any success, even removing the old certificate from firefox preference. To solve it, I cleared the cache.
SSLCACertificateFile – This will need to point to the appropriate GlobalSign root CA certificate.SSLCertificateChainFile – This will need to point to the appropriate intermediate root CA certificates you previously created in Step 1 above.SSLCertificateFile – This will need to point to the end entity certificate (the one you have called "mydomain.crt")SSLCertificateKeyFile – This will need to point to the private key file associated with your certificate.Let me know if works for you in the same way.

"kamailio.org uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided.
(Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)"

Just as a side note, I've seem anti-spambots 'captcha systems' (just see, not implemented, nor know about a library that implement it) that use a dual factor approach: one that you see and one that you know.
Indeed very simple: show an image and ask something about it.
Questions can be: type just the letters, type just the numbers, type numbers and letters in pre-defined order (left-to-right,up-down,etc), number of colors, of groups, color on the booton right, etc... The combination are limited on the imagination. And the best: it increment in exponential the way bots have to work.
Does anybody knows a library/system that implement such approach not all of them, but at least part of it?

Hello,
as of yesterday, creation of new accounts for Kamailio's wiki site
requires to answer a project related question. Captcha was useless as
spam bots were lately going through it easily, creating accounts in a
rate of approx 50 new registrations per day.
The extra question is asked just after CAPTCHA, see it at:
- https://www.kamailio.org/wiki/start?do=register
Hopefully the questions are simple enough to allow good people to
register and difficult enough for spambots to give up. It is not a very
sophisticated system, let's see if there will be any efforts in reverse
engineering to break in with bots. So far no new spammer account. If
they will succeed, at least they learn something useful.
If anyone has difficulties creating wiki accounts, write an email to
sr-dev mailing list and it will be investigated.
Cheers,
Daniel
PS. This registration system will last, is not for April 1.
