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 definitely agree. A lot of that software is vulnerable by design, and a throwaway or university laptop is the way to go. It just helps remove friction points and let you focus on the work.
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
.VHDfile 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.
