Security systems continue to evolve and sometimes in unusual ways like this CAPTCHA system which makes you play the legendary DOOM.
If some CAPTCHAs seem insecure, with tests like putting images right side up or challenges solved easily, or even too easily, by computer systems, others stand out from the rest. Like this one that challenges you to play DOOM in a particularly difficult section.
The perfect game
DOOM is a legendary video game which has had numerous variations on the Internet. If we find it on classic media, such as computers, we can find it on more unusual media, such as a lawn mower.
A game that never ceases to inspire. Guillermo Rauch, CEO of Vercel, a company specializing in website creation solutions, recently unveiled a CAPTCHA solution based on DOOM: to access a site, you must play the classic version of DOOM and eliminate three monsters, reports TechCrunch.
To make his CAPTCHA even more difficult, Rauch offers a section that will not leave you no respite. There you will find many enemies, a weapon, 100% of your health, but no armor. Some comments highlight the difficulty of the test, such as the one listed by TechCrunch : “There are so many monsters, it took me 3-4 tries… like a real CAPTCHA! ».
