Broken keyboard

Input-integrity (remapped keys)

The gate

Difficulty is a cost dial, not a security dial — harder = more work, never a better bot/human test. The detector convicts at every level.

Solve the puzzle — then meet the detector.

Pass the gate on the left. Kitsune’s coherence engine scores your client from the edge at the same time — because solving a gate is a cost or Turing test, not proof you’re human.

Gate verdict

did you solve the puzzle?

Detector verdict

does your client hold together?

The gate is just an HTTP protocol on Kitsune’s owned arena service (allow-list-scoped — it only ever talks to itself). Script a bypass against:

  • GET /arena/keymap
  • POST /arena/keymap/verify

The keyboard is silently remapped — discover the mapping by trying keys, then type the target — an original input-integrity gate (not a wild-captcha clone). A correct answer with no exploration (no backspaces) means the client decoded the remap from the payload instead of probing it. A self-hosted reproduction of the documented mechanism — never a third-party widget. The detector reads the same coherence engine that scores the home page.

How this works & the ethics

The gate is a self-hosted service Kitsune runs (the owned arena service). It reproduces the documented, open mechanism above — it never contacts, proxies to, or solves a third-party challenge (Cloudflare Turnstile, reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha). The reference solvers only ever talk to our own gates. The detector verdict comes from the same coherence engine that scores the home page, reading your client over the edge.
