wtf is this captcha????

[harrysintonen@infosec.exchange]

@rebane2001 Simple: QR codes have certain amount of redundancy for error correction.

The idea of this particular QR code is that it is deliberately invalid unless if you cover the invalid part (the finger area). When you do that, the remaining error correction parts make the code valid and readable.

Clever, but nothing exceptional.

@harrysintonen did you just call my artwork "clever, but nothing exceptional"

[harrysintonen@infosec.exchange]

@rebane2001 It's a clever idea still!

Kind of related to what I've seen in some CTFs where you had to manually decode a broken QR code.

@rebane2001 @emily amazing. Isn't autocorrect great~

[rebane2001@infosec.exchange]

@OliviaVespera @emily ?

[oliviavespera@spacey.space]

@rebane2001 @emily the reason why the QR code works is because of the correction code in QR right? it fills in the blanks lost by the finger.

@OliviaVespera @rebane2001 @emily and I would assume the fields below the finger are intentionally misleading so *with* the pixels showing it can't be scanned

@rebane2001 and then you try to do this on a 85 inch screen.

@rebane2001@infosec.exchange the deal with the devil ​​
inb4 your screen pricks your finger for the three drops of blood

@compliance@infosec.exchange @rebane2001@infosec.exchange oh easy solution, just don't use too big screens >:3
(or y'know, use the zoom function...)

@rebane2001@infosec.exchange uh....

@rebane2001 ableist. What if I don’t have a finger, or a soul?

[schrotthaufen@mastodon.social]

@rebane2001 @Viss Nice way to link devices

[spacelifeform@infosec.exchange]

@rebane2001

Surely it functions to detect idiots.

Known to be human, not likely a bot.

[cornflower@woof.tech]

@rebane2001 cute :3 I can't get past the paw though my woof licence has been revoked

[mica@mk.absturztau.be]

@rebane2001@infosec.exchange wdym that's a normal captcha

[rebane2001@infosec.exchange]

@slyecho captchas are inherently ableist

[sjjh@hachyderm.io]

@arichtman @rebane2001 Ohhh, print-jacking right?

[blogdiva@mastodon.social]

@rebane2001 looks like a dildo with a swirly tatoo though
