I wonder how good it's at solving the "hard" (with noise added, eg. https://i.imgur.com/jbf0Xfy.png) captchas. I went through the "past puzzles" zip, and they look easy, compared to the "hard" ones you get if you're on tor (or otherwise "shady" network) or the site owner has turned up the difficulty setting[1].

They mention their own captcha system but don't really reference it anywhere as far as I can tell. I'd guess it'd be based on something like ARC (Abstract Reasoning Corpus), instead of object recognition which already have decent methods of solving if you can get enough data.

In my (limited) experience they serve you "hard" ones, and then continue serving you "hard" ones until you give up and go do something else.

Woah, I never seen something like this done with bash and command line utilities. Thanks for sharing, made me find xdotool which is exactly what I neede to replace SikuliX. I can't comment on the project since I didn't test it but wow, only this example https://bitbucket.org/Pirates-of-Silicon-Hills/voightkampff/... made me think why didn't OP use a scripting language and went with Bash? (Python?) Don't get me wrong, the Bash level is strong with this one :)

At some point Captcha's will be easier to solve with software than by people. Hopefully by then we can retire them completely. The onus for proving that a visitor is not a bot should be on the server side, not on the humans.

google is already trying to retire them. v3 has no challenges, they just generate a score completely transparent to the end user

and yet can still be bypassed by captcha solving services
