Abstract: Nowadays, almost all major websites employ CAPTCHAs. This prevents website scraping, fake account creation as well as DDoS or bruteforce attacks. For anonymity reasons, mainstream CAPTCHAs such as Google’s reCAPTCHA cannot be used on the darkweb. Due to the evolution of machine learning and computer vision, the CAPTCHA challenges used there, such as the clock CAPTCHA, are usually more arduous than those found on the clearweb. This paper presents an automated system that uses machine learning to break clock CAPTCHA challenges with a high success rate. We evaluate our system in a real world setting against 725 clock challenges from live darkweb marketplaces. Our results show an accuracy of 96.83% while maintaining low time requirements while analyzing, predicting and submitting the CAPTCHA solution.
