Malicious bots(the ones that wreak havoc), run native code which is capable of running in a multi-threaded context.</description></item><item><title>Say hello to mCaptcha</title><link>/blog/say-hello-to-mcaptcha/</link><pubDate>Wed, 26 May 2021 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/blog/say-hello-to-mcaptcha/</guid><description>At mCaptcha, we believe in digital freedom and privacy and so we built an proof-of-work based CAPTCHA system that doesn&amp;rsquo;t track. Seriously, no tracking. But that isn&amp;rsquo;t the killer feature, our system doesn&amp;rsquo;t require the user to pick cars or ID sidewalks &amp;mdash; our system does it&amp;rsquo;s thing(usually at the click of a button) and gets out of the way.
How does it work? mCaptcha uses SHA256 based proof-of-work(PoW) to rate limit users.</description></item></channel></rss>
