mCaptcha - PoW based DoS protection

mCaptcha uses SHA256 based proof-of-work(PoW) to rate limit users.

If someone wants to hammer your site, they will have to do more work to send requests than your server will have to do to respond to their request.

NOTE: 0.1 is out, expect breaking changes as ergonomics and performance is improved. Checkout changelog for changes and migration pointers.

Why use mCaptcha?

Free software, privacy focused
Seamless UX - No more annoying captchas!
IP address independent(sort of) - your users are behind a NAT? We got you covered!
Automatic bot throttling
Resistant to replay attacks - bye-bye captcha farms!

Core functionality is working but it's still very much work-in-progress.

Please refer to mCaptcha/mCaptcha for instructions.

mCaptcha is made up of three components:

We have a WASM library now, Android and iOS libraries soon

We have Rust library, other languages will have support soon

Under development.

A paid, managed service will be made available soon but I(@realaravinth) encourage you guys to self-host. Go decentralisation!

yes please!
