Does any kind of captcha stop a targeted attack? I don't think that's what captchas are for.
- jm4 7y agoMaybe. Maybe not. They are pretty darn difficult. I’ve seen a few that are fairly straightforward to break. For the good ones, you’d need some quality CV tech and if what you have is that good then you’re probably better off using it for something other than breaking captchas in order to post comment spam for penis pills or whatever they are peddling these days.
- snowwrestler 7y agoYou can pay teenagers in the Phillipines a few dollars a day to solve any kind of captchas for you. Maybe I have a different concept of a targeted attack, but that seems certainly in the realm of what a criminal enterpise or nation state would expend on a high value target.
- contravariant 7y agoSome webpages seem to use captchas to stop (targeted) DDOSs, having a easily defeated (but unique) Captcha might not help in those scenarios.
