ForkTheCaptcha

Welcome to ForkTheCaptcha! ?
This repository is a simple web project made with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript where a CAPTCHA is displayed to verify user interaction. Feel free to explore, contribute, and fork it for Hacktoberfest 2024!

Project Overview

CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart) is a crucial feature used to prevent bots from abusing web forms and functionalities. This project is designed to demonstrate how to implement a basic CAPTCHA system using client-side technologies.

? Features

• Dynamically generated CAPTCHA.
• Simple and clean UI.
• Designed for beginners to learn and contribute during Hacktoberfest 2024!

Tech Stack

• HTML: Structure of the webpage.
• CSS: Styling and layout.
• JavaScript: CAPTCHA generation and validation logic.

Getting Started

1. Fork this repository: Click the "Fork" button on the top right corner of this page and create your own copy of the repository.

2. Clone your fork:

git clone https://github.com/your-username/ForkTheCaptcha.git

3. Navigate into the project directory:

cd ForkTheCaptcha

4. Open the index.html file in your browser to see the CAPTCHA in action.

How It Works

1. CAPTCHA Generation: The JavaScript function generates a random sequence of characters (alphanumeric) displayed as an image.

2. User Input: The user is prompted to enter the characters from the CAPTCHA image into a text field.

3. Validation: If the user input matches the CAPTCHA, the form is successfully submitted. Otherwise, the user is asked to try again.
