Why I am not a robot box that often comes up while searching the internet?

This is a very modern problem. You’ll be browsing Google before you come to a conclusion when you’re suddenly asked to prove you’re not a robot. As a result, you will need to enter the correct letters displayed on the screen or identify which images contain a road, mountain or traffic light or something similar. Then, you will be allowed to continue your search.

Internet users often see a message inside a box while searching on Google, with the aim of proving that you are human rather than a robot.

That is, I am not a robot in a box that has to be clicked.

Well, it is very easy to get out of it with a click of the mouse, but the mechanism behind it is very interesting and shocking.

In fact, you can't even imagine how complicated this one click is.

In fact, you can't even imagine how complicated this one click is.

Google created an entire virtual machine for this purpose that activates another computer within a computer to make the checkbox work.

This virtual machine uses Google's own encryption language.

But it is not a simple encryption technology that is often used by websites to protect passwords.

The language invented by Google is decoded with a key that changes the process of reading the language, and this language also changes continuously during reading.

Google associates this key with the visiting web address so that you cannot use one website's reCAPTCHA for another website.

It also contains 'fingerprints' of your browser that computer bots cannot copy.

All this has been done so that it is difficult for you to understand what Google is doing in this regard.

The reality is that these checkboxes record and analyze a lot of data.

Your computer's time zone and time, IP address and location, screen size and resolution, browser used, plug-ins used, duration of a page display, number of times keyboard keys or mouse are pressed. It's clicked, as the data is analyzed.

These checkboxes also instruct your browser to create an invisible image and send the image to Google for verification.
