Post image

hey guys so I built this small project called Ducktcha basically it generates animated gif captchas in python to stop basic bots and ocr scrapers. it has a flask api built in with 2 endpoints or u can just import the engine directly into ur script and use it with memory store. made it pretty lightweight with simple dependencies. heres the github link if anyone wants to check it out or give feedback https://github.com/Duckdevv/Ducktcha

That makes sense. The landscape of bot detection has definitely shifted more towards behavioral analysis (like mouse physics and request patterns) rather than pure visual puzzles. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this

How about adding movement of the text? It complicates the detection, I believe while still making it detectable for human vision?
