    The easy way involves looking at the devices and drivers you have installed. Things like a VirtualBox display or a SPICE guest driver are dead giveaways. next, they might look at your processor and see if it has as many cores as it should, but that’s more involved.

      Holy shit why is it even getting anywhere near that nosy? I didn’t know it was anything like that. And I even worked for them for a little while.

        Because it also serves as an anti-cheat…in the most literal sense. It is trying to make sure students can’t cheat by having other things open like answer pages or Google.

            The qualifications industry is heavily reputation based. If they get a reputation for letting cheaters slide, their reputation tanks among employers and therefore no one will want that qualification.

            And these qualifications are expensive as hell too.
