So today, our case study is gonna be about a sneaker website, a sneaker bot, and your average sneakerhead. After all, it’s human to be wrong, right? Although these tests should be easy for humans, even the best of us could fail miserably at passing them. But man, how do you differentiate between man and machine if even I can’t tell the difference between letters? So anyway, enough with the ranting, and let’s get back to business. And an older version of CAPTCHA was the very annoying text that you should type. You could have very pixelated images of trucks, traffic lights, and crossroads. But how does CAPTCHA tell computers and humans apart? Well, with modern technology, there are different tests to do that. So the meaning is literally there between the letters. CAPTCHA stands for C ompletely A utomated P ublic T uring test to tell C omputers and H umans A part. And if you’re very new to botting, you can start by reading about bots and the different types too!Įver wondered what the actual word means? Well, brace yourself, because it’s a long a$$ phrase.

Today we’re gonna answer this question and see how vital solving CAPTCHAS is to sneaker botting. Then proceeded to add those Jordans to the cart and check them out, oh-so smoothly! So, aside from all this romance and dreaminess, what is CAPTCHA? And why do we have to look for that darn fire hydrant every time we go to certain sites? “I am not a robot,” said the sneaker bot as it checked the CAPTCHA box.
