A Completely Automated Public Turing Test to tell Computers and Humans Apart (CAPTCHA) is used in web systems to secure authentication purposes; it may break using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) type methods. CAPTCHA breakers make web systems highly insecure. However, several techniques to break CAPTCHA suggest CAPTCHA designers about their designed CAPTCHA’s need improvement to prevent computer vision-based malicious attacks. This research primarily used deep learning methods to break state-of-the-art CAPTCHA codes; however, the validation scheme and conventional Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) design still need more confident validation and multi-aspect covering feature schemes. Several public datasets are available of text-based CAPTCHa, including Kaggle and other dataset repositories where self-generation of CAPTCHA datasets are available. The previous studies are dataset-specific only and cannot perform well on other CAPTCHA’s. Therefore, the proposed study uses two publicly available datasets of 4- and 5-character text-based CAPTCHA images to propose a CAPTCHA solver. Furthermore, the proposed study used a skip-connection-based CNN model to solve a CAPTCHA. The proposed research employed 5-folds on data that delivers 10 different CNN models on two datasets with promising results compared to the other studies. |
