Lockdown Browser: internet privacy concerns #19

Closed IcyFold closed 1 year ago

IcyFold commented 1 year ago

I just took an exam using Lockdown Browser and I'm quite concerned for my internet privacy. Specifically, I had a few Chrome tabs running in the background with apps like Whatsapp web open and have received a few messages. I am afraid that Respondus would be able to intercept those messages and decrypt them.

Do you know if Respondus has the ability to mitm your web traffic (as alleged in this Reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/ReverseEngineering/comments/f6jwpd/the_mechanics_of_lockdown_browser_blogpost/) or whether it sets up a local proxy or has any packet capture functions?
