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).
