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!
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.
