Attacking Image Recognition Captchas - A Naive but Effective Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
The landscape of the World Wide Web today consists of a vast amount of services. While most of them are offered for free, the service providers prohibit their malicious usage by automated scripts. To enforce this policy, Captchas have emerged as a reliable method to setup a Turing test to distinguish between human and computers. Image recognition Captchas as one type of Captchas promise high human success rates. In this paper however, we develop an successful approach to attack this type of Captcha. To evaluate our attack we implemented a publicly available tool, which delivers promising results for the HumanAuth Captcha and others. Based upon our findings we propose several techniques for improving future versions of image recognition Captchas.

SEIMCHA: a new semantic image CAPTCHA using geometric transformations
As protection of web applications are getting more and more important every day, CAPTCHAs are facing booming attention both by users and designers. Nowadays, it is well accepted that using visual concepts enhance security and usability of CAPTCHAs. There exist few major different ideas for designing image CAPTCHAs. Some methods apply a set of modifications such as rotations to the original imag...
متن کاملSide-channel attack on labeling CAPTCHAs
We propose a new scheme of attack on the Microsoft’s ASIRRA CAPTCHA which represents a significant shortcut to the intended attacking path, as it is not based in any advance in the state of the art on the field of image recognition. After studying the ASIRRA Public Corpus, we conclude that the security margin as stated by their authors seems to be quite optimistic. Then, we analyze which of the...
متن کاملImage Recognition CAPTCHAs
CAPTCHAs are tests that distinguish humans from software robots in an online environment [3, 14, 7]. We propose and implement three CAPTCHAs based on naming images, distinguishing images, and identifying an anomalous image out of a set. Novel contributions include proposals for two new CAPTCHAs, the first user study on image recognition CAPTCHAs, and a new metric for evaluating CAPTCHAs.
متن کاملCollaborative Filtering CAPTCHAs
Current CAPTCHAs require users to solve objective questions such as text recognition or image recognition. We propose a class of CAPTCHAs based on collaborative filtering. Collaborative filtering CAPTCHAs allow us to ask questions that have no absolute answer; instead, the CAPTCHAs are graded by comparison to other people’s answers. We analyze the security requirements of collaborative filterin...
متن کاملBypassing Captcha By Machine A Proof For Passing The Turing Test
For the last ten years, CAPTCHAs have been widely used by websites to prevent their data being automatically updated by machines. By supposedly allowing only humans to do so, CAPTCHAs take advantage of the reverse Turing test (TT), knowing that humans are more intelligent than machines. Generally, CAPTCHAs have defeated machines, but things are changing rapidly as technology improves. Hence, ad...
