    Solving CAPTCHAs?

    Hey. I was wondering if SCAR could solve CAPTCHAs like the example I've provided;



    (This is a CAPTCHA from reCAPTCHA).

    A game that I play started using these to stop people training while AFK, so I was wondering if it's possible to get SCAR to solve it.

    Is it possible? If so, how would I go about doing it? How hard would it be to make a script to solve it? Any input would be greatful since I'm kinda thinking about trying to make a script to solve these. (even though I have VERY little scripting experience. )

    That would be impossible or else INCREDIBLY HARD !!!!!!!

    In my opinion, it isn't possible unless you had a picture of every single word that shows up with every single different font for the words.

    In other words : over 100M bitmaps to take care off ?

    Impossible.

    I think python would be better suited for the task

    reCaptcha hasn't been broken as of yet. Captchas in general have (not by scar) What makes reCaptcha more difficult is the fact that it is real text from old books, this makes it near impossible to know what you are going to get or how it will look.

    The old Captcha was broken by AI IIRC. Scar could do it, but so can any programming language.

    Haha, well, I don't know python, and I'm most certainly NOT going get over 100M bitmaps!

    Thanks for the input, though.

    Everything is possible, but it would require a lot of knowledge and patience.

    mastaraymond : alot of knowledge, tons of patience, tons of memory for the bitmaps, an amazing amount of time...etc

    Basically, to make it simple, lets say it's impossible.

    If anyone ever actually makes a script to break that in SCAR, I'll give him a cookie

    Memory isn't a key requirement. Like I said, reCAPTCHA uses text from old books, no matter how big your library is, it won't have all the different nuances that enter when printing books (IE, ink splots, faded letters, even malformed letters for printing)

    Bitmaps alone wont solve that, instead, you need a smarter reader. One that is able to say "Hmm, the curves are in the right place for that letter to be a b". That isn't easy to do, but it is doable, and with not such huge memory requirements (more processing power would be needed).

    So much processing power that SCAR would probably take way too long to solve it. So go with a real language.
