I was logging in x. Com and I was redirected to a website with a puzzle and was told to prove that I was a human.

How is that made in the internet world?

They aren’t checking the puzzle. Those are usually trivial and easy for a computer to solve. They’re checking how you’re interacting with the puzzle.

A computer will move the mouse in straight lines and stop exactly in the right place on pictures or buttons, humans are less exact so they can tell if it’s a computer or not based on that interaction.
