    would be easier than to try and catch people slipping eachother code, no?

      It’s really easy to detect duplicate programs. I’ve failed multiple students due to cheating on assignments. Code obfuscation is incredibly easy to detect using something like MOSS .

        Yea, I’ve had this happen to me in my first year of university. Wrote an assignment and foolishly put it on a public Github repo. Someone found it, changed a few variable names and submitted it. Got caught by an auto-detector and accused of plagiarism, luckily the prof just gave me a 0 on the assignment.
