How does it get around captchas?
- gjsman-1000 2y agoYou pay contract workers in a third world country a tiny amount of money per day, to spend all day clicking boxes.
- tedivm 2y agoIf they don't think you're suspicious they don't make you do the captchas, and as others have mentioned you can always outsource it to captcha farms. There are also AI models which do a fairly decent amount, and since most captchas let you repeat attempts with new patterns you can have a pretty high error rate to get past them. Then there's the ADA, which requires accessibility- many captchas have an audio component as a backup and those are easy to interpret by models.
- gruez 2y agoCloudflare turnstile isn't even a captcha. The user just has to tick a box. Behind the scenes there's a javascript challenge to make sure you're vaguely a browser and not some script a bazillion requests per minute.

- michaelmior 2y agocurl-impersonate doesn't solve CAPTCHAs, but the goal is to look enough like a human that Cloudflare doesn't present a CAPTCHA in the first place.
