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…

Those same tips also apply to a windows user - there’s a decent chance those applications try to do something stupid which ends up making your system more vulnerable. If you don’t have a throwaway notebook for that the best option is to sit the exam at a university computer.

I actually bypassed it by modifying the monitoring .dll lol
There’s no need to have an entire laptop for that, just have a copy of Windows installed on a bootable USB stick (and disable your main drive if needed).
To make restoration even more easier, you could have Windows self-contained inside a
.VHD
file and boot it using Ventoy, which makes it easy to backup and restore. So once you’re done with the exam thing, just restore the clean VHD back. And use a tiny debloated copy of Windows such as Tiny10 or something so that your VHD is much smaller, making it even more quicker to backup and restore.

That sounds like a terrible idea if they find out.
if who finds out?
Your school. Won’t you get flagged to them with some integrity check?
No the code for SEB doesn’t upload any data. It’s done locally and it only checks to see if it has the config. Anyway this is for research purposes
Oh I see, nice job then!
Will you be posting how you did it exactly?

VM with a legit windows installation in it.
Some of these detect when they are run in a VM

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.
