4chan-captcha-solver

I think there's been a misunderstanding. I didn't understand you were the author of the linked article, and read the following exchange to mean you'd found the code at https://github.com/drunohazarb/4chan-captcha-solver to be a helpful introduction: > > I've built 3 iterations of captcha solvers for that crappy website based on https://github.com/drunohazarb/4chan-captcha-solver/issues/1 > This project was really my first decent introduction to computer vision and machine learning I see now that your code is linked from the article, and looks really informative - thanks for sharing!

For those that don't know, the JKCS extension has been doing this for years already: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/jkcs/ https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/joshi-koukousei-cap... Userscript version: https://github.com/drunohazarb/4chan-captcha-solver

I've built 3 iterations of captcha solvers for that crappy website based on https://github.com/drunohazarb/4chan-captcha-solver/issues/1 . The only thing I've learned along the way is that it's mostly pointless outside of a "learning" exercise, since they'll change the captcha (in terms of letter count or the entropy background). Initially, it was 4 characters with pretty obvious background, then it turned to 5, then it was both 4 and 5 and the current iteration which is also either 4 or 5, but with a lot of entropy surrounding the characters.
