Google “I am not a robot” captcha Beaten and Virus Simulator campaign

8 points by ozymandias2049 ↗ HN
I beat Google's recaptcha (https://www.google.com/recaptcha/about/) using AWS Rekognition and AWS EC2 where I had one machine in each possible region (about 20) to keep their algorithm from giving me impossible puzzles. Seeing is believing, so I ran my system for 20 hours on THIS very website(each video is 10 hours long): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_N16tjueYqg

Also the FunCaptcha(the one where you rotate some animals) but using Google Vision API:

My channel(https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkLdZAUsGiuQyT7Oq_0wz7Q) has videos of it running on S stackOverflow, Disqus, The Google Vision API website where I got a 0.7 score on V3 Captcha for 40 hours, reddit and this site(Hacker news).

Code: https://bitbucket.org/Pirates-of-Silicon-Hills/voightkampff/...

The readme is not up-to-date, but the relevant files are main.sh and funCaptcha.sh

You have to beat two things: -Click on the right images FAST ENOUGH -Make sure they don't blacklist your network and IP

V3 Recaptcha, in fact, only does the later. IP is easy: restart the EC2 machine. Network is hard, you need to switch between them and attempt no more than one puzzle per try. More when I make the video explainer...

I am making videos on how to set it yourself, hopefully done today. It runs on a GCP VM with a VNC server as "screen" and uses AWS EC2 as proxies. It's all a giant shell script.

I designed a new Captcha and will launch a crowdfunding campaign for it based on the fact that I beat the 2 main captchas in the market, but because some people I knew died from Covid I made an Indiegogo campaign for an app that warns you about surfaces you should not touch and finds people who are not wearing masks around you. This is why I am here.

Congrats, I guess. But I don't really follow the how you connected beating captcha to raising money to build a coronavirus app. And that app, I don't even understand how it is going to be useful since majority of the texts is about unrelated captcha stuff
