<p>In the first, <a href="https://michaeljaylissner.com/pdfs/breaking-recaptcha.pdf"><strong>Breaking ReCAPTCHA</strong></a> I discuss a few methods that
ReCAPTCHAs can be hacked, and talk a bit about the ways that they were
attacked by the Anonymous hacker group. I should mention at the outset that
none of the approaches here are particularly useful though,
and that ultimately, the hacker group beat ReCAPTCHA by simply out
numbering it.</p>
<p><a href="https://michaeljaylissner.com/pdfs/proactive-security.pdf">The <em>second paper</em></a> is a brief discussion of some approaches an
organization might take when beginning a project in which security is a
high concern. Essentially, it takes a chronological approach,
from the start to the end of the project. </p>
