  • Why can’t a robot just click “I’m not a robot”? Turns out the answer is part of a bigger story about being human.
    The box test isn’t really about the box! It’s actually tracking other things about your behavior, like how you move your mouse as you go to check the box.
    The tech is called reCAPTCHA - “Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart”. And these days, these tests are not about figuring out what makes humans BETTER than robots. They’re about what makes humans human. It’s the same question we’ve been thinking about for centuries.

      reCAPTCHA is just gathering data through free surveys; simultaneously trying to protect their websites from spam bots.
      Security wise, it's not the greatest. For data and human pattern recognition for security, it's very versatile. Google, uses the data you provide to train AI or sell to AI companies. You essentially act as a statistic for algorithms to learn to be human.
      Not so long ago (continues) tons of reCAPTCHA had you select stop lights, crosswalks, stop signs, etc. This is to train AI's to be "human" funnily enough Google's Waymo was the first fully driverless ride on public roads.
      So... I don't think Google cares very much about security, moreso the potential profits the data provides.

    • @ipaqmaster
      @ipaqmaster 4 дня назад +15

      You can’t. They haven’t used the mouse tracking method in over a decade. It suspects on public ip (VPNs or home), suspicious activity on it and session cookies of previous activity to determine whether you need to complete additional challenges.
      You can have a very simple script tick the box for you if everything above already checks out however the moment you start automating, a challenge inevitably appear and you have a lot more programming to do.

    • @ipaqmaster
      @ipaqmaster 4 дня назад +4

      Even this explanation is only simple. But no, they don’t give a shit about your mouse. You can tap the tab key a few times and then the space bar or enter to pass them. It’s not a valid metric at least for captcha V3 as pictured in this video.

      the purpose of recaptchas is to avoid spam bots entering websites in a large scale causing websites to crash.
      why websites crash? because websites needs to send and process tons of information to alot of users at a time.
      crashing a website takes about million of bots, and crashing google takes almost a "gogol" more.
      the idea you suggested is a good one, but it takes too much computational power to send hundreds of the bots to a website because it uses more operations to do so. its not impossible, but extremely expensive.
      maybe a hundred bots? that's not enough to crash a website.
      most of spam bots used today are extremely optimised for this exact reason, they dont even have a cursor.

    Web developer here. Depending upon the type of bot it might not even have to move a pointer in a straight line; a bot that is integrated with a browser does not have to move a pointer at all. It can just click specific things directly-a bit like with a touchscreen but without so much as touch coordinates. Purely programmatic interaction is commonly used for testing and automation. You’re right about forms that try to detect automation, but developers know that too, so we can try to automate randomized human-like movements if we are so inclined.

      It’s really not hard. PyAutoGui has a tonne of functions specifically for this. I never bothered because I generally didn’t need to have it solve captcha’s but this is invaluable information to know if I did, so now all I have to do is randomize the movements and maybe have a few back traces, and it everything will think it’s human!

    It seems very easy to make a program that moves the mouse in a human way. In fact it’s even easier than that: you just need to record a couple dozen human mouse movements and then automatically replay one of them.

    • @sawah765
      @sawah765 21 день назад +9

      the goal of getting a robot to do this would be to make a giant batch of accounts or something along those lines. I imagine the captcha would find the copies of that mouse movement and disqualify those attempts.

      And it also creates acessibility issues for people with disabilities, like tetraplegics that blow into airtubes to move the mouse, as they can only move in a single direction per blow.

      @@MarcusBuer whenever I come across a Captcha, no matter what it is, it always reminds me that they’re a nightmare for disability. Like as an able bodied person I fail them about half of the time, I can’t imagine what it is like for people who are not. The picture ones are often super bad, and I have a hard time telling what I’m supposed to click on, I imagine it would be harder for someone who has a visual impairment or a different disability. And sometimes the word ones are really confusing. Also if you use something other than a mouse, it would be hard. And I assume that captchas would often not be compatible (if ever) with screen readers.

      not the browsing history but yes the cookies. google would have to state in their agb if your browsing history could be checked by third partys which they don't so no that aint hapening but due to the way cookies work they have to be accessable by third partys making them a good indicator and if that's not enough, you have to do the old test
