Using with versions ≥ `2.1.2.04` may get your account permanently banned. about lockdown-browser HOT 22 OPEN

Thanks for updating. Do you know what version your LDB installer is? I'm wondering if it is only patched in the newest versions or if Respondus automatically patches each client.

2-1-2-04, but it sort of... updates itself on first run after installing?

Pardon me, I'm kind of dumb. Does this answer your question?

I'm wondering if it stopped working on 2-1-2-04?

@FIM43-Redeye I don't think it updates itself, it just uses the installer to install that version of Lockdown to the VM. I'm using a 2.1.2.02 installer and after it installs and opens Lockdown, when I check what version I am running, it says 2.1.2.02.
However, this still doesn't mean that the version numbers mean nothing and Lockdown pushes these patches to every Lockdown client, which is definitely possible considering Lockdown requires internet connectivity. But since it is working for @carrie-leigh-221, I think anyone on 2.1.2.02 or earlier is in the clear.

Running "LockDownBrowser-2-1-2-04-364713981.exe" and works fine for me, however, if it updates on startup it will detect it but it has been like this for awhile.

You just need to download the latest version and replace it in your directory.

I downloaded the latest version and replaced it in my directory. Logged in to take a quiz. Got to the last step before it let me start the quiz, and got the warning.

@carrie-leigh-221 Did the older version you were on stop working as well?

@carrie-leigh-221 Did the older version you were on stop working as well?

The older version did not stop working, however when the older version is in the runtime directory folder, it auto updates to the newest one. Anybody know a way to make it not auto update?

from lockdown-browser.

@fri12013 I had the lastest version in the runtime_directory. From their website, it says that they updated their security for 2.1.2.04

Well that's unfortunate. As I mentioned in the “Project Status” discussion, I have neither the time, interest, nor ability to figure out a new bypass method, so we're probably stuck here until/unless someone submits a PR to fix this.

I've pinned this post so that hopefully others can see this warning. Thanks for the update though.

It appears that this ban is likely tied to your school account, not your computer as per @bluesangheili from #71:

I tried to mess around with ldb from two entirely different computers, one warning in the first one, second warning to my other computer. The only way I can make sense out of this is they are targeting your login credentials. OEM ldbs are not affected by this.

So I'd recommend being very careful if you get this message, because if your entire school account gets banned there's going to be no way to fix things short of a very awkward conversation with your school administration.
