Understanding the SEB Patch

This is a Patch to remove ALL the restrictions of Safe Exam Browser. It ships with Kiosk Mode completely off as well as almost no restrictions. To apply this patch you need administrator privileges in the target machine. Note that this patch is done for demo purpouses only. Chating in exams is forbidden and may lead to severe consequencies, you are responsible for what you do.

  • The patch consists of modified and recompiled Safe Exam Browser files to remove restrictions
  • When you hit patch on the patcher, it creates a backup copy of the original SEB files (if told to) and overwrites then the original files with patched ones
  • This project is legal as it follows the MPL 2.0 license which is the license SEB is released with
