Operation Sierra Romeo

Operation Sierra Romeo used to stand for Operation Senso Removal. However, following the events after 4/29 and our capture by TAC, we have ceased to hack and liberate school computers, and are not able (and will voluntarily not) to continue this project.

If you wish to seek ways to prevent teachers from seeing your screen, you can:

Turn Off the WiFi

Turn off WiFi by toggling it to off from the taskbar. This is effective and will take effect immediately. ~10 seconds later, your grid on Senso will turn black. During these 10 seconds and the time following it, you can do anything, and it will not appear on Senso.

Warning

Airplane mode does not work. You must turn the WiFi off, not airplane mode. I've seen many students turning on Airplane Mode, hoping to bypass Senso. This does not work and I have tested it.

Turning off WiFi physically disconnects you from the Senso grid. It is unlikely and is nearly impossible for the teachers to fix, due to being a requirement in the data transmission of Senso.

If you turn off your WiFi, a strange phenomenon happens on the teacher's end. After you disconnect, the teacher's view does not immediately show "offline". Instead, in the ~10 seconds that follow, the view on the teacher's class grid will loop through your actions of previous moments. You can use this to your advantage by disconnecting every 10 seconds, or using TiFiCut's "Fake Lag" to automate this.

Use TiFiCut

TiFiCut is a program made by P7MJ to manage your WiFi. It handles disconnection and reconnection automatically. You can use it to set an amount of time where your computer is disconnected, or simulate fake lag.

Tip

Fake Lag is an extremely effective way to bar teachers from monitoring you, without showing up as a disconnection on the larger grid.

Dangers

Using tools to bypass Senso can result in many punishments. Ways the teacher and TAC might discover include:

• Abnormal screens. The teacher might check on individual grids. Our methods were only tested on group/class grids, not individual grids.

• Abnormal disconnections. Lagging once might be acceptable, but sustained lag will rouse suspicision.

• Traces of tools. This is unverified, but tools like TiFiCut interact with cmd.exe and might leave traces on the computer, which can then be retrieved by TAC.

• Senso records. It is unknown whether Senso continues to collect data while offline. It might phone home the moment WiFi is reconnected.

Punishments include:

• Being called to the Tech Office. Trust me, it's not fun. They will threaten you with escalation and fines, and put you in an extremely bad position.

• Confiscation of computer. This has happened to us many times. It is not fun and you lose all your files.

• Being discovered by the teacher. This depends on teacher, but the outcomes generally look grim.

Summary

Operation Sierra Romeo is deprecated and will not receive new updates. However, students will continue to bypass Senso, Lightspeed, and other monitoring systems in many ways. Examples in 2026 include the BIOS Crisis of April and the Omoggle Crisis of May. Currently (in June), facing widespread bans of chess platforms and the ban of VPNs, many have turned to the site ChessKid and WorldGuessr, which are not completely banned.

Warning

We do not endorse bypassing Senso, and we encourage students to be good pupils. We do not claim or accept any consequences that might arise from using our products or trying to bypass Senso or an educational monitoring program.
