Abstract

CAPTCHA is now a technology which is used all over the internet to protect websites from program bots. One of the major issues which CAPTCHA provides a solution to is, stopping spammers for creating unlimited accounts and sending emails to millions of people spam mails. In this paper, we are proposing our algorithm for solving the Google CAPTCHA. Being able to solve the Google CAPTCHA using a program would mean that there are some security issues which need to be considered at the earliest and this would assist us develop a better CAPTCHA.
