Google has had its share of exploits and intrusions which brought out the CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart) system. While some found it irritating, the whole thing had to be implemented due to protect sites from bots and potential DDOS attacks.

The Google CAPTCHA system sounds fair enough though there are some who find it an unnecessary process to access a site or service. That would normally include answering visual questions or selecting the right images being asked. The intent is to prove that the person visiting the site is actually human and not a mischievous bot that has cruel intentions, BGR reported.

The Invisible Google CAPTCHA System

All that may soon be a thing of the past with the new behaviour-based Google CAPTCHA system set to be introduced. This will be known as the invisible Google CAPTCHA system, something that will use a “combination of machine learning and advanced risk analysis that adapt to new and emerging threats,” according to Google.

Under the new Google CAPTCHA, the system goes to work once someone arrives at a certain page. It will be unseen but actually, begins detecting user habits of visitors to a page. From here, it detects the behavior of the visitor, detecting mouse movement and the IP address. The page will only continue to load once if the algorithm finds everything in order. In the event it does find something uncanny, the old CAPTCHA system comes into play.

Old CAPTCHA not entirely gone

So in a way, Google has not entirely shelved the traditional CAPTCHA system. It just added a way to separate the bots from the human users. Some may like it though there could be inconsistencies in figuring out who are the authentic visitors and who are not. There could be other factors such as regions and Internet speed. Details are understandably limited for now to prevent bot makers from coming up with a workaround, Slash Gear reported.
