CAPTCHA authentication has been challenged by recent technology advances in AI. However, many of the AI advances challenging CAPTCHA are either restricted by a limited amount of labeled CAPTCHA data or are constructed in an expensive or complicated way. In contrast, this paper illustrates a low-cost approach that takes advantage of the nature of open source libraries for an AI-based chosen-plaintext attack. The chosen-plaintext attack described here relies on a deep learning model created and trained on a simple personal computer in a low-cost way. It shows an efficient cracking rate over two open-source Python CAPTCHA Libraries, Claptcha and Captcha. This chosen-plaintext attack method has raised a potential security alert in the era of AI, particularly to small-business owners who use the open-source CAPTCHA libraries. The main contributions of this project include: (1) it is the first low-cost method based on chosen-plaintext attack by using the nature of open-source Python CAPTCHA libraries; (2) it is a novel way to combine TensorFlow object detection and our proposed peak segmentation algorithm with convolutional neural network to improve the recognition accuracy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
