Automated Proctoring Solutions: Modern Techniques to Evade & Lure Computerized Proctoring Systems

Abstract

Automated proctoring solutions are popular tools across multiple types of instruction, including online, hybrid, and face-to-face. Choosing the correct application to proctor online assessments is a tedious process that involves discussions about securing the integrity of examinations and who should absorb the cost of the chosen proctoring solution. Modern automated proctoring solutions are customizable; in most cases, the student absorbs the total cost. Diverse vendors promote using artificial intelligence to detect movement, excessive noise, other persons in the room, or instances of impersonation. We present different scenarios to elude the built-in security features of the Respondus Lockdown Browser and compromise the integrity of online assessments. Windows Remote Assistance, Executable File Analysis, Screen Capture, and Virtual Webcams are practical methods to evade & lure the proctoring application's lockdown capabilities. Moreover, while each procedure may not apply in every scenario, Windows Remote Assistance facilitates the process of impersonation. The application is part of Windows 10 distributions, has no limitations, and setting up a screen-sharing session takes no time and effort. Furthermore, it is possible to leak the content of an online assessment using specific screen capture software.
