About
AWS WAF Captcha is a feature of the AWS WAF web application firewall that helps protect web applications by requiring requests that match specific criteria to solve a captcha puzzle or silent challenge before proceeding.
It allows users to embed a 
JavaScript API in client-side applications, apply captcha or silent challenge actions based on rate-based, bot control, or custom inspection rules, and configure token immunity time.
reCAPTCHA is a Google service that protects websites from spam, fraud, and automated abuse by distinguishing human users from bots.
It offers several versions, including v2 with an "I'm not a robot" checkbox and an invisible badge and v3 with background risk scoring.
