- herbst 10y agowhile I agree, it may also is a option for some unskilled people to get to money they really need. IMO its better than buying cheap clothes, as captcha at least does not kill those people. To clearify: I lived in some cheap third world cities, and i can certanly see that solving captchas could finance a rather nice life.
- homakov 10y agoMost of the time they use OCR, humans are unreliable and rarely used.
- tyingq 10y agoThat doesn't seem to match the sales pitch at antigate.com, deathbycaptcha, etc.
- herbst 10y agono, at least antigate doesnt. When you hit recaptcha with known proxy urls (or generally hit it a few times per hour) the captchas get so bad that no OCR would be able to solve it, even humans struggle
- tehlike 10y agoyup, exactly. i tried tesarract before (nothing too fancy), it didn't have problems solving it, but at some point it became really hard. I think part of it is how you crawl (phantomjs, for example, seem to hit captcha almost every time), but things like ip&proxy usage could make this trigger more often.
- bdcravens 10y agoAntigate can solve things that would give OCR fits, like animated letters and the like.
- driverdan 10y agoIt's not exploitation.
