Bjørn Martin Hegnes
Security architect and advisor with a passion for wireless security and practical tools that make a difference.
Bjørn Martin Hegnes works as a security architect and cybersecurity advisor in the public sector, responsible for IT security and cloud services. He has extensive experience in wireless security analysis, network architecture and security consulting.
In 2022, he conducted a research project where he cycled around Oslo with a receiver, picking up 1.7 million wireless signals. The project demonstrated how much invisible wireless activity goes on around us – and led him to think about places where unwanted wireless activity is a real problem, such as exam rooms.
That experience, combined with expertise in security and a frustration with existing solutions costing tens of thousands, led to the development of ExamNet.
Why ExamNet was built
Schools deserve a simple and affordable tool for detecting unauthorized Wi-Fi hotspots during exams. Dedicated wireless scanners often cost €5,000 or more per device, require technical expertise and maintenance from the IT department. That's a high barrier for most schools.
ExamNet was built to lower that barrier. With a regular Android phone or tablet, exam supervisors can monitor the Wi-Fi environment in real-time, without special equipment and without a technical background. The app is designed with privacy in mind – no personal data is collected, and all data is stored locally on the device.
The vision is that every school should have access to tools that ensure fair exams, regardless of budget.
