CAPTCHA Busted? Company Claims To Have Broken Protection System
sciencehabit writes "A software company called Vicarious claims to have created a computer algorithm that can solve CAPTCHA with greater than 90% accuracy. If true, the advance would represent a major breakthrough in artificial intelligence. It would also mean that the internet will have to start looking for a new security system. The problem, however, is that Vicarious has provided little evidence for its claims, though some well-known scientists are behind the work."
I cured cancer, stopped global warming, and found the last missing episodes of Doctor Who.
Just take my word for it.
In Soviet Russia, dot slashes YOU!
I wish I could get CAPTCHAs right 90% of the time.
And that's their undoing.
Show the user 10 captchas:
If none match -> It's an old bot
If some match -> It's human
It over 90% match -> It's this new algorithm.
There, solved!
Time for the reverse CAPTCHA. If you can guess it correctly, you must be a bot.
And thus began the arms race where eventually the only way to use the internet requires buying an up to date bot plugin for your browser... ^_^
> Although "Recursive Cortical Network" sounds really cool, it would be nice to, you know, learn a bit about how it WORKS.
It works just like the "Recursive Cortical Network", look it up.
