An Arkose Challenge is a type of Captcha (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart) designed to prevent bots and automated software from accessing websites, applications, or platforms. It's a security measure to ensure that only legitimate human users can interact with a system.
Arkose Labs, a cybersecurity company, developed this specific type of challenge. The Arkose Challenge is typically presented as a visual puzzle that requires the user to identify and select various objects or patterns from a set of images. This provides an additional layer of security against automated attacks and bots.
The main goal of the Arkose Challenge is to prevent fraudulent activities, such as account takeovers, credential stuffing, and other types of cyberattacks.
When encountering an Arkose Challenge, users are presented with a set of images, and they must select the correct objects or patterns as instructed. For example, they might be asked to select all images containing a particular object, like cars or trees. The challenge is designed to be easy for humans but difficult for computers to solve.
