Great! Since you're testing your own site's CAPTCHA system and not trying to bypass someone else's (which would be unethical and likely illegal), you're in the clear. _
Testing CAPTCHA effectiveness is a legit part of security QA - especially if you're developing or evaluating anti-bot measures. So here's a toolbox of ways to simulate bypassing or evaluate weaknesses ethically.

__ Tools & Techniques to Bypass CAPTCHA (for testing your own site)
1. Automation Tools
Use browser automation to simulate bots that try to break your CAPTCHA:
_ Selenium
Automates browser interaction
Great for testing form submissions and simulating user flow
You can try to automate CAPTCHA interaction and see where it fails
_ Puppeteer
Headless Chrome automation (Node.js)
Better suited than Selenium for stealth-like behavior
Can take screenshots, simulate mouse movement, etc.
_ Playwright
Like Puppeteer but supports Firefox, WebKit, and Chromium
Has features to simulate real human input more accurately
> __ These tools can't "solve" CAPTCHAs unless the CAPTCHA is very weak (e.g., just a math question or simple image click).
