Online Test Cheating Software: What's Real and What's a Scam

TL;DR

Most marketed "cheating software" is either a browser extension (captured by proctoring) or malware. The narrow category that actually works is OS-level system overlays. Lockdownify is currently the only product in that category with a 100% bypass guarantee.

If you've searched for cheating software, you've seen the underbelly of the market — random sites with dramatic claims, no real product, and either a phishing form or a malware download at the end. Here's how to tell what's real.

Red flag: "undetectable browser extension"

Doesn't exist. Browser extensions render inside browser windows. Browser windows are captured by every proctoring tool. There is no version of an extension that is invisible to capture.

Red flag: "crack" downloads

Pirated versions of legitimate software are almost always laced with malware. Even if they weren't, the legitimate version uses account-based login to validate your subscription — the cracked binary has no valid account and won't run features.

Green flag: OS-level system overlay with paid subscription

Real products in this category have a normal pricing page, a working signup flow, a Stripe checkout, and a desktop app that requires login. The login requirement is itself the anti-piracy mechanism — the binary alone is useless without an active subscription account.

Lockdownify is currently the only product in this category with a money-back-plus-exam-fee guarantee.

Frequently asked questions

Why does Lockdownify require login on the desktop app?

Because login is what defeats piracy. The binary alone is worthless; you need an active subscription account to use any feature. Pass the binary around and recipients still need a paid account.

How do I know Lockdownify isn't a scam?

Public pricing, Stripe checkout, real Mac and Windows apps, money-back-plus-exam-fee guarantee. If you ever get flagged using it, we refund both the subscription and the exam fee in full.

Will Lockdownify get me caught?

No. Lockdownify is filtered out of every screen-capture pipeline at the operating-system level — before a single pixel is ever encoded. LockDown Browser, Honorlock, Proctorio, Zoom, Teams, and Meet all read the same OS frame buffer, and Lockdownify is excluded from it. We re-test against every major proctoring tool weekly. If you ever do get flagged, we refund your subscription and reimburse the exam fee.

What platforms does Lockdownify support?

macOS 13 Ventura and later, and Windows 10 and 11. Both desktop apps ship today.

How much does it cost?

$40/month or $28/month if you pay annually (save 30%). One plan unlocks every model — Claude Opus 4.7, GPT-5, and Gemini 3.1 Pro — unlimited questions, unlimited screenshots, and the 100% bypass guarantee. Cancel anytime.
