Not only my own exams, but they also accused me of helping thousands of other students to fraud their exams. Unfortunately, I have recently been expelled from school for developing a Packet Tracer Password Recovery tool, the school considered that my tool was an attempt to fraud exams. I had someone more professional help me the second time I contacted Cisco. NOTE: Cisco has responded to me after I had written this article. No, Thanks to reverse engineering, we can figure out how the Packet Tracer software works, and then modify the Packet Tracer binary to work in a way we want! The goal of this article is to improve Packet Tracer by making it more secure without the need for its source code. So this leaves educational institutions with a big problem, a problem that can only be solved by the original software developers (Cisco)? My previous blogpost on Packet Tracer has been sent to Cisco, and at the time of writing, there wasn't any response.
The point is that Cisco, the company behind the Packet Tracer software, just doesn't seem to care at all how good or bad the software is secured. You may have to read the article first before you continue, the article explains how the Packet Tracer software can be exploited and gives advice on how to prevent such techniques. In my previous blogpost, I have discussed how students are able to exploit Packet Tracer to cheat their exams. Protecting Packet Tracer Myself Because No One Gives a F*ck
