> The most malware-y test-related piece of software I've had to install on my computer is Lockdown Browser, which requires to be run as root on macOS or Windows(!) (no Linux obviously), detects if its running in a VM, has a blacklist of processes that it forcibly kills and disables use of external displays and keyboards. I've heard that there's also a camera/microphone option but my professor didn't enable it. That's one of the reasons I'm not opposed to app stores and "closed garden" ecosystems. Want to run as root? Denied. Want to install your special snowflake driver? Nope. Kill processes? Never. Get a list of other running processes not started by your app? Absolutely not. Don't want to comply? Roll your own devices.
