Language Filter - unable to uncheck option: Unknown (Skip all undetected )

royalmice — Wed, 08 Apr 2026 04:27:25 +0000

@Sven

GSA SER is not saving the last option under Language filters. Unknown (Skip all undetected )

Whenever one unchecks the option and saves the project, and then reopens the project, the option is again checked.

The only time it saves is when you uncheck everything.

Please could you look into it

CB x CapSolver

Allan — Wed, 20 Nov 2024 18:05:57 +0000

When testing CapSolver credits, CB continues to emulate the service.

I unchecked the option within the captcha breaker.

I tried to restart the captcha breaker, but it marked CapSolver by itself. I also restarted SER, but without success.

Any tips?

Blog comments on CB scrolls a million mph on 2 captchas

seoaddict — Wed, 27 Feb 2019 05:56:31 +0000

Hey,

It seems that blog comments are scrolling on CB at a million mph and eventually will cause CB to crash entirely.

The 2 captchas it thinks it's recognizing, but they actually aren't anything close to the result are:

Phillybackdoc.com
APKHere.com

To recreate error:

Setup blog comment project, have SER scrape targets from search engines (non-Google).

Watch as CB scrolls at a million mph, blocking the use from other projects, yet the captchas aren't anywhere close to either of these two that it thinks they are.

I disabled these 2 captchas as a test, now it scrolls at a million mph but it skips them all.

When I say a million mph, I mean literally like 100 per 3 seconds non-stop, even though SER isn't posting to that many URLs.

CB stopped working sice last update

przamunda — Wed, 30 Jan 2019 17:19:52 +0000

Today I tried to update CB to the latest version, since then I couldn't run it anymore. Every single time I try to run it, it crashes.

I tried to roll it back but I couldn't either. Could you please have a look into this?

Cheers

Base64 encode error

Tay — Thu, 13 Dec 2018 11:12:40 +0000

Gsa CB is sending the captcha task in binary, example:

{

"clientKey": "myClientKey",

"task": {

"type": "ImageToTextTask",

"soft_id": 394,

"body": "?PNG\n \rIHDR x !\b ?o? ,?
,?IDATx?{w?????F??5 ??R??~??^???\b?\b??]B!\r?bo?n?????z?=???s??
?????/$?????x?9g??w???{??W5?`M??BaU??PY^???ZT????g??Q????8W???

...a lot of binaries...

\"?C??N??BX IEND?B`?",

"languagePool": "en",

"phrase": false,

"case": false,

"numeric": 0,

"math": false,

"minLength": 0,

"maxLength": 0

}

}

I already tried to change the "base64 encode=1".

Thanks in advance!

CB does not use etc/hosts file with 2cpatcha.com

azp — Tue, 09 Oct 2018 08:08:26 +0000

My configuration is:
1st server running CB
2nd server running other captcha solver as 2captcha emulation
hosts file is used to redirect all 2captcha queries to IP of 2nd server

With new CB, it seems CB is baypassing hosts and sending query directly to the IP of 2captcha service. Not to my 2nd server.
Other software i have on 1st server is correctly using captcha on 2nd server - hosts file work.

Proxy Scraper doesn't turn off

TheGypsy — Wed, 12 Sep 2018 17:08:25 +0000

Hi @Sven,

Could you have a quick look at the proxy scraper, please. It doesn't turn off. Or maybe I'm just not patient enough?

Anyway the the webserver is turned on on 8080 port an using proxy scraper to serve proxies for scrapebox and after a while it slows down or rather stops serving the proxies. When I stop PS with the task manager and start it again everything returns to normal.

'sorry this program can only be installed once' bug?

funianrun — Sun, 14 Jan 2018 02:10:04 +0000

When i start captcha breaker it works fine, however after an hour or so it closes itself at some point. Upon trying to restart i get this popup.

I paid and put in my serial and name from the email. This happens every time i use gsa ser for the last week, the only way i can get it to work is by restarting my computer, but then it happens again after an hour. Tried re-installing.

Update broke Rediff Mail Verification

thisoldhat — Fri, 26 Feb 2016 20:56:13 +0000

It's one of the updates - I usually update the GSA like once every few months due to errors like this breaking parts I actually use.

Anywho - I was dumb today and hit update - and now Rediff mail isn't working. Pathway isn't logging in/verifying/recognizing accounts.

I have old ass legacy accs I made ages ago with my own maker when Rediff was still pre-verif - and they've been working fine for a long time now - so plz fix pathway for Rediff so I can use em again. Old campaign rediffs arent being recognized either - and I run checks daily so yeah, its the update I downloaded like a fool today. Plz fix. Thanks.

CB Hanging

cloop — Thu, 18 Feb 2016 11:13:16 +0000

I've been running the same installation of CB for a couple of months. In the past couple of days it has just started hanging completely - taking 99% of CPU and not responding very well (it does occassionally respond but it's largely hung up).

I noticed that CB was hung up badly yesterday and that it had a notice about an upgrade. I upgraded and the hang seems even worse now - it basically hangs when it starts now. On occasion I can get it to start up and serve out a few Captchas but it tanks out within minutes.

It's on a dedicated (and clean) Windows 2012 Server box.

Any advice???

help my license please.

Captcha Breaker: Cache Answers - 5GB memory use for having this option ticked?

gsa8mycows — Wed, 23 Dec 2015 12:49:05 +0000

Is it possible that CB used around 5GB memory for having "Cache answers" ticked?

I woke up this morning that my windows dedicated was using about 7.5-7.8 out of 8GB memory.

I've looked at resource monitor and task manager(show all processes for other users ticked) and nothing was using that much memory.

SER was using 1.6GB memory, CB about 200-300MB memory according to task manager.

Yet the system showed really that it was very low on memory(~7.5/8GB).

Not even scrapebox was running in the background or anything.

System uptime is 16 days. I've noticed that CB has been running for a few days now and had "Cache Answers" ticked.

I've unticked this option and in a few minutes memory usage dropped down 2.5GB.

Whatever was using that 5GB memory was not "Cached" memory according to windows, but was actively used.

Anyone had similar happen?

GSA CB Writing to host file even when not set to simulate

royalmice — Sat, 21 Nov 2015 04:57:54 +0000

@sven

I have some custom redirects in my host file, but everytime i start GSA CB it strips my custom entries in the host file.
I dont have any of the options checked in GSA CB to simulate or to run as web server, so why is GSA CB still writing to host file.

Sven please fix GSA CB to NOT write to host file when non of the simulate options are selected

low solving and repeating jams

HarryNL — Mon, 25 May 2015 05:48:27 +0000

Captcha breaker (with GSA - SER) has some errors - had had to re-start program several times the last days

also a message "Browser.exe has stopped working" pops now and then up
and i can not find a solution for this

the recognized captcha have never been so low - get now less then 20%

the Recaptcha images comes up with 3 images at the same time
it mentioned that it uses times over 33 seconds - but it is not - coz i see how fast it goes

Services paid did also coming up with crazy figures - i have disabled DBC - coz it was taking 1000's in one time - running up fast
Also disabled Spamvilla - as that also did effect this - although no costs
So at the moment i am not using DBC and Spamvilla

So what could be wrong ?

Bye Harry
