From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The only resource I've found is this https://affanindo.github.io/seb-and-linux. Is it possible to use wine?

Update: Ended up using a VM via boxes of windows 10 pro. Modified the monitoring .dll for SEB and works perfectly in a VM now without getting detected. Wish they had linux support but this is the only way...

Some of these detect when they are run in a VM

I actually bypassed it by modifying the monitoring .dll lol

Can you please explain how you did it or link to a guide explaining it? It could be useful to many people

The last time i had to use safe exam browser i found out that it only detects the popular virtualization for windows and mac like vmware, hyper-v, vortualbox and parallels. Using just kvm on linux worked without getting detected.

Can someone explain what's the point?

There's some exam, online, runs in a browser. Ok.

Now we require a special browsers. Why?

Which only runs on Windows, but not in a VM, unless you make a small change. Why?

To stop cheating, I assume, but what kind of cheating needs a VM? Maybe I'm old, but we had handwritten cheat sheets on paper.

Are students using cheat software now that solves math problems for an online exam? And if they do, shouldn't this score bonus points? Sounds like challenging problem to code an AI that she's your exam.
