Its been quite a while since I've taken a proctored exam, but then all the proctors would clear all the memory on your calc before they'd let you use it for test. Is that not the case anymore?
Depends on the exam. Some don’t even allow programmable calcs because they don’t want to deal with possible shit like this. I have already seen a certification exam where they provide the calculators as well.
The article said it can be download "on demand" so that might make the clearing pointless.
Make people switch devices, problem solved. Does not work without tampering with the hardware
Or use a dongle to lock the calc in test mode, where unlock needs a passcode sent from it.
The launcher program can be downloaded on-demand, avoiding detection if a teacher inspects or clears the calculator's memory
If I understood it correctly, the Wi-Fi module appears as a standard calculator-to-calculator interface, so built-in commands can install the cheat apps at any time.
