How to Bypass ProctorU Exams

Understanding ProctorU

ProctorU is an online proctoring service designed to maintain the integrity of online exams. It employs various techniques to ensure that students adhere to exam rules, including:

• Monitoring Student Activity: ProctorU uses webcam monitoring, screen recording, and keyboard monitoring to detect any suspicious behavior.
• Restricting Access: It limits access to other applications and websites during the exam.
• Live Proctoring: A live proctor can observe the student in real time and assist if necessary.

How ProctorU Detects Cheating

1. Full-Screen Mode: The exam takes up the entire screen, preventing access to other applications.
2. Browser Lockdown: Disables keyboard shortcuts like Alt+Tab and Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
3. Webpage Restrictions: Blocks access to external websites.
4. Webcam and Microphone Monitoring: Records audio and video of the student during the exam.
5. Keystroke Analysis: Detects irregular typing patterns.
6. Environment Check: Requires a scan of the surroundings with the webcam.
7. Lockout Features: Locks the exam if violations occur.
8. Randomized Questions: Randomizes questions and answer choices to prevent sharing of answers.

Bypassing ProctorU

Step 1: Install a Hypervisor

A hypervisor (or virtual machine monitor) allows you to run multiple operating systems on a single machine. For this guide, we'll use a Type 2 Hypervisor.

• Download and Install Oracle VirtualBox: Download Oracle VirtualBox
• Note: If using Hyper-V, download the Hyper-V Windows 10 image.

Step 2: Set Up a Virtual Machine

1. Download Windows 10 VirtualBox Image: Search for "Windows 10 VirtualBox image" and download it.
2. Extract Files: Unzip the downloaded files.
3. Open VirtualBox: From the start menu, open Oracle VirtualBox.
4. Import Appliance: Go to the "File" menu and select "Import Appliance." Load the Windows 10 image.
5. Allocate Resources: Adjust settings to allocate resources to your virtual machine.
6. Start the Virtual Machine: Run the virtual machine you’ve created.

Step 3: Use the Virtual Machine During the Exam

1. Open ProctorU: Access ProctorU in your virtual machine.
2. Cheat Using Other Tabs: You can now open additional tabs or applications in the virtual environment.

Optional Step: Remote Assistance

• Install Anydesk: Install AnyDesk on your main PC to allow an external helper to assist you within the virtual environment.
