This is a list of Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) response status codes. Status codes are issued by a server in response to a client's request made to the server. It includes codes from IETF Request for Comments (RFCs), other specifications, and some additional codes used in some common applications of the HTTP. The first digit of the status ...

If the human types the control word correctly, then the response to the questionable word is accepted as probably valid. If enough users were to correctly type the control word, but incorrectly type the second word which OCR had failed to recognize, then the digital version of documents could end up containing the incorrect word.
TRIAD includes a list of three-letter challenge codes, which the verifier is supposed to choose randomly from, and random three-letter responses to them. For added security, each set of codes is only valid for a particular time period which is ordinarily 24 hours. Another basic challenge-response technique works as follows.
AOL Mail uses many security measures to keep your account secure, one of which is CAPTCHA or image challenges when sending mail. These challenges exist to make it harder for hackers to access your accounts. The characters can't be read by a computer and must be entered manually, ensuring only a real person can pass the test.

The attacker must lure the victim to a web page with malicious code while the victim is logged into the target site. The attack is blind: the attacker cannot see what the target website sends back to the victim in response to the forged requests, unless they exploit a cross-site scripting or other bug at the target website. Similarly, the ...
According to the specification, the 502 status code indicates that the server, while acting as a gateway or proxy, received an invalid response from an upstream server. The Occurrence [ edit ]
Arguably the standard form of the reverse Turing test is one in which the subjects attempt to appear to be a computer rather than a human. A formal reverse Turing test follows the same format as a Turing test. Human subjects attempt to imitate the conversational style of a conversation program. Doing this well involves deliberately ignoring, to some degree, the meaning of the conversatio
