About

AWS WAF Captcha is a feature of the AWS 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.

Yandex SmartCaptcha is a captcha and bot protection service from the Russian technology company Yandex.

It analyzes requests using behavioral and risk-based signals, supports invisible verification that challenges only suspicious users, and offers multiple challenge types including checkboxes, sliders, text recognition, silhouettes, and kaleidoscope puzzles.
