I'm not sure about v6 as I just started using Umbraco with v8. But I also had to add a captcha to my form contact. However, it is not a special Umbraco package. I'm using https://github.com/henriqb/ReCaptcha-Asp-Net this NuGet Package which is basically an Asp.Net/MVC compatible implementation.
Thanks for this. ReCaptcha is built into Umbraco Forms un U8 so you wouldn't need to use a special implementation however if you are building your own forms this looks perfect.
My issue is because I am using the Umbraco Contour package it would involve some considerable work to integrate it with this package so it would probably be simpler to just upgrade Umbraco itself.
One option that you could use is to write some custom code in the FormValidate event for Contour, for example, you could prevent submission if the e-mail matches any of the spam addresses, or obviously something a bit more advanced. I'm not sure how easy implementing ReCaptcha this way would be, but you might be able to add some level of validation.
I think this is the "easiest" solution given that you don't want to upgrade.
There's an example here of hooking up to this event in Contour.
Adding ReCatcha to Umbraco 6.1 site
Hi,
I have a legacy Umbraco 6 site. I had a ReCaptcha v1 on Umbraco Contour version 3.0.31 but this stopped working a while ago when Google retired v1.
I don't really want to upgrade the site to U7 as it's not got much life left in it but we are getting loads of SPAM so need to add a Captcha
Is there a v2/v3 capture available for U6/Contour 3.0.31?
Thanks
Dan

Maybe that will help.

Yes indeed, I use my own Form (as it is only a Contact Form, I don't have a special need for Umbraco Forms)
I didn't notice that you are using Contour.
Sorry, can't help with that.
As far as I can tell this is not possible because:
