Abstract
CAPTCHAs have become a ubiquitous tool in safeguarding applications from
automated bots. Over time, the arms race between CAPTCHA development and
evasion techniques has led to increasingly sophisticated and diverse designs.
The latest iteration, reasoning CAPTCHAs, exploits tasks that are intuitively
simple for humans but challenging for conventional AI technologies, thereby
enhancing security measures.
Driven by the evolving AI capabilities, particularly the advancements in
Large Language Models (LLMs), we investigate the potential of multimodal LLMs
to solve modern reasoning CAPTCHAs. Our empirical analysis reveals that,
despite their advanced reasoning capabilities, LLMs struggle to solve these
CAPTCHAs effectively. In response, we introduce Oedipus, an innovative
end-to-end framework for automated reasoning CAPTCHA solving. Central to this
framework is a novel strategy that dissects the complex and human-easy-AI-hard
tasks into a sequence of simpler and AI-easy steps. This is achieved through
the development of a Domain Specific Language (DSL) for CAPTCHAs that guides
LLMs in generating actionable sub-steps for each CAPTCHA challenge. The DSL is
customized to ensure that each unit operation is a highly solvable subtask
revealed in our previous empirical study. These sub-steps are then tackled
sequentially using the Chain-of-Thought (CoT) methodology.
Our evaluation shows that Oedipus effectively resolves the studied CAPTCHAs,
achieving an average success rate of 63.5\%. Remarkably, it also shows
adaptability to the most recent CAPTCHA designs introduced in late 2023, which
are not included in our initial study. This prompts a discussion on future
strategies for designing reasoning CAPTCHAs that can effectively counter
advanced AI solutions.
