Inspiration
I saw a anti-scammer video where they made weird captchas which scammers are put in and are unable to complete them or it would cost them a large amount of time. I decided to make my own which can be mildly infuriating and purposefully anti accessible to use up someone's time as much as possible like from the inspiration.
What it does
It presents you a url which puts a riddle in front of you. It gives no hints and purposefully the ends are matched with the background to throw off what you normally think. If you can get a good path it will pass you, however do something wrong it'll take you for a spin.
How we built it
Using Python and its Flask library that allows for building micro web frameworks. Attaching the HTML files to Flask we have some Javascript files to build the website.
Challenges we ran into
HTML has limitations to making proper interactable Captchas such as normalizing the grid which is interactable. It leaves exploits and limits on how to design interactions between the user and the site.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
The goal of being misleading, confusing, and difficult was completed. Additionally it is possible to make some simple interactable objects on a webframe through python which is not everyone's first pick on web development.
What we learned
How to use Flask and how to write HTLM. While Graphic design is not getting award it is more than I anticipated for this project.
What's next for Anti Human Captcha
Writing some other system that have more interactable graphics perhaps in a language that is much more suited for the job. Perhaps having actual AI run this and prove a point of the reverse Captcha.
