Abstract

CAPTCHA is a simple challenge-response tool to determine whether the user is a bot or human. The user must answer required text, calculate questions, or choose some images from the provider’s choice. D portal site, which is one of the most famous web portal site in Korea, asks text response in CAPTCHA image when joining a cafe group, but this CAPTCHA is structured in a very regular format which can be read very simply if used repeatedly. We can read the text characters by bot with very high accuracy through some easy steps, among 2,000 sample CAPTHCAs.
