Project Goal
Bring a changing landscape of CAPTCHA systems into one approachable, maintained reference. The project aims to make the material easier to navigate, compare and cite while keeping responsible, authorized use explicit.
How to Use the Guide
- Browse or search the library for the CAPTCHA type you want to understand.
- Read its overview and compare the documented approaches, references and limitations.
- Keep testing within an environment where you have permission, and respect applicable terms and privacy.
The project brings together a practical, maintainable reference for researchers, developers and curious readers: identify common CAPTCHA families and their context, compare documented tools and approaches with their trade-offs, and stay responsible by prioritizing authorized research, privacy and transparent sourcing.
CAPTCHA Identification
Choose a CAPTCHA below to open its guide, review the challenge category and see the references and options documented for it.
Need Help
If you have trouble solving any type of CAPTCHA, feel free to open an issue or email me at vasyl.smutok@gmail.com, and I will try to help.
Difficulty Scale
Difficulty labels are editorial estimates for navigating the guide, not guarantees of how a challenge will behave in a particular context.
The five labels are 1 — Low, 2 — Below average, 3 — Medium, 4 — High and 5 — Very high.
Project Structure
The docs/captchas/ directory contains individual reference pages; docs/solvers.md indexes documented tools and services; docs/resources.md collects further reading; assets/images/captchas/ stores catalog illustrations; and assets/brand/ contains the logo and banner artwork.
