Many adversaries attack Websites by brute force attempting to try the ID andpassword via programs or automation software.

The authorization element will allow the developer to configure the user accountsthat can access the site or application. The proposed system aims to provide securedauthentication by validating the strength of CAPTCHA. Its backbone will consist ofvisible profiles that display an articulated list of Friends who are also users of the system.This will make it easy for users to build up their social network, to communicate with newindividuals or reconnect with lost contacts. Profiles are unique pages where one can "typeoneself into being". It will allow users to create personal profiles describing their real-world selves and then establish connections with other users.
