the post states that op needs to run Respondus, which is proprietery spyware anti-cheat for school tests (doesnt run on linux)
ew.
my condolences to OP.
i can confirm: ew is correct. it has admin priviledges and literally scans all running programs and captures every key press. u cant even ctrl+alt+del without it reporting it and closing itself.
it seems ironic to require cyber security students to install windows and respondus just to pass the course...
I just graduated with my degree in CSEC and, while my college luckily never had us do that, I know at least 10 people who would have found a way to trick it somehow into reporting false data
Does running it in a sandboxes VM work?
I'm sure it can tell that the hardware it's on or drivers being used is virtualized.
But unless it's using your webcam to track your eye movements or you're in a supervised space, you could use your phone or second computer.
i've heard that too. there may be ways to spoof baremetal, but you'll probably get in some trouble if its found out. i personally havent had to use the webcam (yet)
