Identifying reCaptcha V2 Invisible 🌟
Key Points:
- A challenge box will not always appear and is triggered only by suspicious activity.
- The captcha is loaded from the domain
google.comorrecaptcha.net. - The "I'm not a robot" button is absent. Instead, an icon will be displayed in the corner.
Using Charles for Detection
- If you have already Charles configured, open charles and go to the site with reCaptcha.
- A request from google.com or recaptcha.net will appear, click and search for recaptcha. After you find, click the reload request.
In Charles, inspect protobuf position 6 for a value labeled'fi'. There must be a number 6 and also in this number the value fi to be v2 invisible. This is the most efficient way to confirm reCaptcha V2 Invisible.
