The unintended Captcha Hack Algorithm of Google
 | by Erwin van Lun on Jan 2, 2012 in Agent's Processing, Cognition, Research News |
Summary: Google is working on algoritms to read house number from Google Street View images,unintendently cracking Captcha
In a paper called Reading Digits in Natural Images
with Unsupervised Feature Learning researchers from Google and Stanford University reveal a new method of identifying house numbers in Google Street View.
It’s just another attempt to add a bit of AI to Googles ability to understand the world.
As a result however, this algorithm is obviously very useful for Captcha hackers as well, as I’ve announced many times before. Captchas are those annoying characters you have to re-type when you leave a comment on a forum, to get access to certain information or when you register for a website, The purpose of Captchas are to separate computers from real human beings, assuming that humans are better in complex character recogntion than computers. This will soon be something of the past.
The result: computers will be able to create new accounts, register everywhere, spam everywhere. It will also retrieve password, access email boxes and send emails on behalf of real humans. It’s an unstoppable development. The only way to stop this: collaborate worldwide and define a new internet which is suitable for consumer usage. Also, we should get rid of the idea that we should protect privacy on the internet allowing people to stuff around anonymously without the chance of getting caught, and that everything should be available for free. Nothing is for free.
This will be part of a new concept for the future world, which I will refer to as
The Utopia Manifesto
Soon more!
