Traditional CAPTCHAs are broken. Hereโs what I use instead. As a cybersecurity student, Iโve spent months battling bots on web apps. Those โclick all the traffic lightsโ CAPTCHAs? Bots can solve them faster than we can! So I switched to something better: Proof-of-Work (PoW) CAPTCHA โ itโs free, privacy-friendly, and seriously tough on bots. Why it works: No puzzles, no hassle: Users donโt even notice it. Their browser quietly solves a small math puzzle (finding nonce values) in the background. Bots hate it: One puzzle is easy. But 10,000? Thatโs slow and expensive for bots. No tracking, no ads, no fees: Just pure code. Why traditional CAPTCHAs fail: Bots use AI to crack images or pay humans to solve them for pennies. Honestly, most CAPTCHAs you see today? Bots are breezing through them. Why I love PoW CAPTCHA: You can customize it (thanks to open-source projects like Cap CAPTCHA). You can even add classic CAPTCHAs (math, traffic lights, etc.) on top for extra security, without confusing users. Users arenโt interrupted. Bots canโt scale attacks without burning serious computing power. If youโre tired of bots spamming your forms or scraping your site, this is the future. Curious how it works?
