CAPTCHA is the abbreviation of "Completely Automated Public Turing Test to Tell Computers and Humans Apart", which is a program algorithm for distinguishing between computers and humans. It is able to generate and evaluate tests that are easy for human to pass yet are not possible for computers to. Common CAPTCHA generally contains symbols, text, pictures, and even videos, which is mainly used for human-computer verification. With the popularization of the Internet and its related applications, many malicious attacks against websites, systems and servers gradually appear. Therefore, the research on CAPTCHA is especially important. This article will briefly summarize and introduce the existing CAPTCHA technology, and summarizes the common problems of network attacks and information security. After listing the common type of CAPTCHA, it will finally propose feasible suggestions for the development of CAPTCHA.
