The challenge

ExamCookie needed to develop a macOS application for exam surveillance, ensuring academic integrity during on-site, written exams. The solution had to monitor every aspect of the candidate’s computer usage, including processes, clipboard activity, network interactions, and CPU performance, to detect and prevent cheating. The challenge was to create a secure, non-intrusive system that would work seamlessly on macOS while respecting user privacy.

Our contribution

We developed the macOS client for ExamCookie, which provided comprehensive surveillance during exams. The software tracked all active processes, clipboard changes, network activity, and CPU usage, sending real-time data to a secure server for analysis. Our team focused on ensuring the solution was lightweight, unobtrusive, and easy to install while maintaining rigorous security standards. The result was a reliable and efficient tool that helped educational institutions ensure exam integrity without compromising the student’s experience or privacy.
