Just don't bother, respondus does a pretty good job at locking down any attempt to work around it, almost malware-like to be honest.

Some google-fu will get you what you want. VMs don't work, i've tried.

Also, nice try Respondus, you aint gonna get any help patching your shit software.

It's just not worth fucking with. I had to use it for some tests at home, so I ran Respondus on my desktop, and cheated my ass off with my laptop.

>>62052785
HAH no. This shit might as well be malware. It can determine if it's in a VM, it won't let you take a test if your IP address doesn't match the assigned range, and the prof can take control of your webcam and see your screen while you're taking the test.

>>62053451
No way, it's fucking malware at that point. I'd rather take the test there on paper then run that shit.

>>62053371
>run it one one machine, cheat on the other
right answer.

>Hello 4chan
There is no better indicator of utter newfaggotry than this.

>>62053505
The problem here lies in Respondus WebCam, which as >>62053451
pointed out presents an issue. Get creative with your screen positioning. Perhaps put a mouse and keyboard underneath your working desk, and assign another monitor behind your primary one. If you make it obvious that you are looking up at another screen however, you'll obviously come under scrutiny.

>>62053535
Disable webcam in bios or unplug

>>62052785
holy fuck, just study for your goddamned tests

>>62053535
Run it on a machine with no webcam? There's a lot of those, desktops especially.

>>62053556
be like any reasonable adult and put a sticky note over your lens.

>>62053556
>>62053564
A webcam may be required. If a webcam isn't required though, this would work well. I assume that if you're in a center for testing, the "use another set of mouse and keyboard along with a monitor" isn't going to work for obvious reasons.

>>62053556

>>62053567
>take test that requires you to use webcam
>somehow disabling/covering webcam is totally fine and not sketchy at all
Do you guys get paid to be this stupid?

>>62052785

run it in a virtual machine and unlock the mouse in-window

>>62053591
>uh professor I don't have webcams at home, and on my old thonkpad I bring to class I dropped it years ago and it doesn't even function now

What now professor malware?

>>62053613
Has VM detection. You could probably work around that if you're clever enough.

>Still using slurs based on sexuality

I think you're the new one here friend

>>62053563
You say that as if anyone cares about the "learning" aspect of this. Protip: nobody does. The people who want to learn and would do it regardless just resent the interference of school with their learning things. The rest of the people just need their "You're allowed to get a job interview now" ticket at the end of four years. The employers don't really particularly care about most of the knowledge supposedly imparted there, hence the emphasis on experience.

So yeah, people will cheat any way they can get away with. They'll collaborate when they're not supposed to, buy essays, and use secondary computers to avoid a testing application that can take screen captures. Because the "learning the material" thing is the least important part of college.

This is what I feared, it seems pretty damn secure and cheat-proof from what I read earlier.
Camera is mandatory and there's like 8 of them watching your movement, including eye.
Which is why I was wondering if I could simulate it at home somehow.

>>62053637
>fag is something regarding sexuality
I bet you kiss girls too, you faggot.

>>62053620
You should have read the fucking syllabus and seen that you need a webcam, you've had weeks to get one and even a cheap $20 one will work.

>>62053556
This, I'm sure the teacher won't notice this at all.

>>62053661
Get one with an adjustable lens and defocus it.

>>62053661
Tell them you can't afford a webcam. Might work in countries wirh free education.

>>62053679
Sitting in a dark room could also be useful

Ahead of time, record an hour of video of you reading things on a computer screen. Play this video on another screen in front of the webcam.

>Uh professor I can't do integrals because I never took anything more advanced than elementary arithmetic can you make the class easier?

No, you don't meet the prerequisites of the class and so you shouldn't be in Calc IV

>I don't have a webcam

Then you shouldn't be taking the class. You can't take the class if you don't meet the prerequisites and one of the prereqs in this class as outlined by the syllabus is you NEED a webcam.

>>62052785
Have a friend pretend to be you and take the test while you're in another room with another computer with TeamViewer and a wireless kb/mouse.

>>62053914
They usually make you show your ID. Good luck having a friend that looks almost exactly like you.

>>62052785
Smartphone or smaller tablet fastened to the middle of your monitor. If you can scroll enough to read and answer around the device of course
All you'd also need then is second keyboard and mouse. About as good of solution you're gonna get if they watching you and you can't get around the browser.

>>62053567
i work at a local pc repair shop and it's unreal how many fucking people do this

>>62054038
You're right
Thick paper taped over it is a better solution

>>62053650
Record yourself using the computer normally, play it back on another monitor and point the camera at that.

>>62052785
Use a VM, that's what I did

Does noone here have a monitor that supports the ability to display multiple inputs at once?
Or you could try to mirror a display and see the reflection on the monitor you're using without it showing up on the webcam and with like a USB port switch by your feet to switch computers you wouldn't need to make suspicious movements.

Had to use that shitty browser a few years ago. Debugged with IDA Pro to find how it detects VMs, turns out it looked for a processor name of "VBOX" for Virtual Box. I used a hex editor to find that value in the executable and replaced it with a random value, and VirtualBox worked after that.

>>62054567
This.
Or just have two monitors with the webcam clipped in the middle

>>62053535
Newest Logitech mice have software that allow the pointer to go seamlessly between two machines. Many monitors have picture-in-picture mode, or you can get one of those small chink displays for Raspberry Pi with HDMI input.

Gnu/Linux doesn't have this problem.

>>62053700
or they'll simply have hardware setup for you to take the online test in a school classroom
