LAN-based exam system with fingerprint popup (192.168.14.5) — how does it work and how could it be bypassed? : hacking | Torhoo darknet markets
Target: University exam system hosted at 192.168.14.5 (accessible only via campus Wi-Fi).
How it works:
- When accessing the site, a native popup appears asking for a fingerprint scan via a connected device.
- After scanning the finger successfully, the popup closes.
- Then the exam interface loads in the browser.
- It seems the authentication is handled locally — likely through JavaScript interaction with a DLL or COM object.
Question:
Has anyone dealt with this type of local biometric authentication before?
How is this usually implemented, and what are the possible ways to understand, analyze, or bypass it?
Strictly for research purposes.
