1 hour, 57 minutes

Course description

The aim of this course is to implement and use a CAPTCHA-evading bot from scratch. In particular, we will cover the reconnaissance needed for this attack, the training and designing of the deep neural network to power the bot, using selenium to automate the CAPTCHA evasion, and finally, using the created bot on a webpage designed to be attacked.
