'What's DEAG?
One of the common tools spammers use these days are spambots which roam the internet searching any webpages they come across for e-mail addresses. This allows them to harvest huge numbers of e-mail addresses to send their spam to.
There are various techniques to obscure an e-mail address on a webpage. This utility allows you to represent your e-mail address as a GIF image. All it takes is some text input and using the GD library functions in PHP it will produce an image with that text in the picture. All you have to do is place the GIF image in your HTML code where you want your e-mail address displayed. Users will have to manually type the address into their e-mail client, but this is the purpose of DEAG -- to avoid using the mailto:x@x.com HTML tag which spambots can recognize and extract the e-mail address from.
Some of the more advanced spambots may even try using certain methods (like OCR) to try and extract text information out of images. To combat this, DEAG distorts the image with some distortion lines and randomly alters each character's position and thickness so that the text is still human-readable but (hopefully) unreadable by address collectors.
The interface allows you to change the background, text and distortion line colours, choose whether or not to use the distortion line and also alter the size of the image.
How to use DEAG
Enter your address in the text field. You can click the "Generate GIF" button to then see the GIF image. A dialog box will be displayed, choose to either open the GIF in a graphics viewer or save it to disc. See below for more information and troubleshooting help about opening the image in a graphics viewer.
NOTE: We are strongly committed to ridding the world of the evilest of evils - spam - so it is our policy not to store or collect any e-mail addresses entered here. As a result of this policy, the images generated and the corresponding data are not stored on our system, not even temporarily. This is why you have to either view the generated GIF image with a graphics viewer or save it straight to your harddisc instead of it loading automatically in your browser.' ..
Viewing your image with a graphics viewer - see instructions in your link above, please.
