|
||||
At mCaptcha, we believe in digital freedom and privacy and so we built an
|
||||
[proof-of-work](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_of_work) based
|
||||
CAPTCHA system that doesn't track. Seriously, no tracking. But that
|
||||
isn't the killer feature, our system doesn't require the user to
|
||||
pick cars or ID sidewalks --- our system does it'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.
|
||||
|
||||
When a user wants to do something on an mCaptcha-protected website,
|
||||
|
||||
1. they will have to generate proof-of-work(a bunch of math that will
|
||||
takes time to compute) and submit it to mCaptcha.
|
||||
|
||||
2. We'll validate the proof:
|
||||
- if validation is unsuccessful, they will be prevented from accessing
|
||||
the destination website
|
||||
- if validation is successful, read on,
|
||||
|
||||
3. They will be issued a token that should be submit along with the
|
||||
request/form to the destination website.
|
||||
|
||||
4. The destination website validates the submitted token with
|
||||
mCaptcha before processing the request.
|
||||
|
||||
The whole process is automated from the user's point of view. All they
|
||||
have to do is click on a button to initiate the process.
|
||||
|
||||
## Okay, but what about bad actors?
|
||||
|
||||
mCaptcha makes interacting with websites (computationally)expensive for
|
||||
the user. A well-behaving user will experience a slight delay(no delay
|
||||
when under moderate load to 2-3 seconds when under attack; PoW difficulty is
|
||||
variable) but if someone wants to hammer your site, they will have to do
|
||||
more work to send requests than your server you will have to do to respond
|
||||
to their request.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Why use mCaptcha?
|
||||
|
||||
- **Free software, privacy focused**
|
||||
- **Seamless** UX --- No more annoying CAPTCHAs!
|
||||
- **IP address independent:** your users are behind a NAT? We got you covered!
|
||||
- **Automatic bot throttling**
|
||||
- **Resistant to replay attacks:** proof-of-work configurations have short lifetimes(30s) and can be used only once. If a user submits a PoW to an already used configuration or an expired one, their proof will be rejected.
|
||||
|
||||
## How to migrate?
|
||||
Our client libraries are mostly compatible with reCAPTCHA and hCaptcha.
|
||||
A detailed guide will be published soon.
|
||||
|
||||
## Our Philosophy
|
||||
Man has has come so far only because our ancestors chose to
|
||||
share their knowledge with others. If everything was labeled
|
||||
intellectual property, we might still be stuck in Stone Age. The idea of
|
||||
intellectual property is alien to us. For this reason, all of our source
|
||||
code is freely available(both as in freedom and beers) at [our
|
||||
GitHub](https://github.com/mCaptcha/).
