Botnet pierces Microsoft Live through audio captchas
- nailer 17y agoI was talking about this with Ashish (who's fairly well known in the Python community as a web automater, and broke WP hash cash a couple of years ago) at PyCon a little while back: even though audio files have distortion applied to them, the threshold at which you can distory audio data and still have it be understood is much lower than with visual data - so a lot of people look to test to speech as a CAPTCHA breaking mechanism.
