for Moodle
Security & Anti-Bypass Architecture

Designed for Real Bypass Vectors. Not Just Theory.

Most proctoring software only detects when a browser window loses focus. Proctify defends at the operating system, hardware display, and network layers against the tools modern students actually use.

The Insider Advantage

“Built by students. Because we know how students cheat — and how to prevent it.”

We built Proctify not because we wanted to create intrusive spyware, but because we saw firsthand how unfair online exams had become. Honest students who spent weeks studying were being outperformed by peers using $15 HDMI splitters and background AI bots that legacy browser extensions completely ignored.

Our engineering philosophy is simple: tackle the actual hardware and OS loopholes, eliminate false positives that stress students out, and provide teachers with indisputable video evidence.

System-Level Kiosk Security

OS-Level Hooking & Keyboard Interception

Proctify uses low-level native hooks (`SetWindowsHookEx` on Windows, `CGEventTap` on macOS, and display grabs on Linux) to intercept and disable system shortcuts before the OS processes them.

Blocks Alt+Tab, Windows Key, Cmd+Tab, Mission Control, and Task Manager shortcuts
Completely disables system clipboard copy, cut, and paste operations
Blocks PrintScreen, Snipping Tool, and third-party screenshot hooks
Traps cursor focus inside the secure viewport to prevent window switching
Multi-Monitor & Splitter Defenses

Continuous Display & HDMI Hotplug Detection

Cheaters frequently connect HDMI splitters or secondary screens to mirror questions to an accomplice. Proctify monitors physical display enumerations continuously throughout the exam.

Pre-scan verifies only 1 physical display is connected to the machine
Continuous OS event listeners detect any HDMI/DisplayPort hotplug mid-exam
Instantly locks the exam client and alerts the invigilator if a second monitor is detected
Bypasses software-only virtual display drivers
Hardware Sensor Verification

Virtual Camera & Video Loopback Spoofing Defenses

Students often attempt to feed pre-recorded MP4 video loops using OBS Virtual Camera or ManyCam. Proctify interrogates hardware driver descriptors to ensure only genuine physical camera sensors are streamed.

Hardware device query validates physical USB/built-in camera IDs
Blocks synthetic and virtual webcam driver spoofing
Detects frozen frames and repetitive loopback signatures
Streams real-time tamper-proof frame hashes
Cryptographic Authorization

One-Time Tokenized Session Architecture

No shared links, static passwords, or re-usable exam codes. Every exam attempt is signed with a one-time cryptographic token generated on-demand by Moodle.

Single-use session tokens prevent link sharing among classmates
Tokens expire immediately upon submission or session termination
Encrypted end-to-end between client, Moodle, and School cPanel
Zero stored student passwords in Proctify databases
Institutional Data Ownership

Multi-Tenant Isolation & Zero Data Selling

Every university instance operates inside isolated tenant schemas. Proctify adheres strictly to FERPA and GDPR standards—we never monetize student data or train external AI models on student faces.

Strict tenant boundaries isolate university records completely
Institutional data retention policies (auto-purge video logs after 30/60/90 days)
Full compliance with FERPA, GDPR, and academic privacy standards
University retains 100% legal ownership of exam telemetry and footage
Legally Defensible Records

Exportable Evidence Chain for Misconduct Hearings

When an academic integrity violation is flagged, professors can download a full evidentiary package containing synchronized dual-stream MP4 video, incident timestamps, and telemetry logs.

Synchronized dual-stream MP4 video showing webcam + student screen
Incident timestamp log linking anomalies to exact quiz question numbers
Ready for presentation before university academic tribunals
Session watermarking prevents dispute over authenticity
Student Privacy & Compliance

Ethical Proctoring with FERPA & GDPR Guarantees

We believe online proctoring should protect academic integrity without violating student privacy rights or selling personal telemetry.

Zero Data Selling

Student exam recordings and names are never sold, monetized, or shared with third-party advertisers.

Automated Data Retention

Institutions can configure automated video purging policies to delete footage immediately after grading deadlines.

Encrypted In-Transit & At-Rest

All video streams and session telemetry are encrypted using AES-256 and TLS 1.3 standards.
