Undetectability
Learn how Interview Coder remains completely undetectable during interviews.
Coding interview platforms employ various detection methods to prevent cheating. Here's how they try to detect tools like Interview Coder, and how we counter each measure.
Interview Coder has never been detected in our real interview tests by any coding platform.
Detection Methods & Our Counter-Measures
Below are the common methods platforms use to detect cheating, and how Interview Coder makes each one ineffective. Each red box shows a detection method, with our counter-measure shown in green below it.
Screen Sharing Detection
Interviewers will ask you to share your screen on platforms like Zoom, Google Meet, Hackerrank, and Coderpad.
App is invisible to screen sharing software and screenshots
Asking for reasoning behind solutions
Interviewers will ask you to reason out your solution and don't just want code.
Interviewers will ask you to explain your solutions. Interview Coder comes with every line of code commented, as well as a few sentences of thoughts that will naturally lead you to a solution.
Webcam Monitoring
Platforms track eye movements and suspicious looking away from screen
Use ⌘ + the arrow keys to move the app with the solutions over your coding area so that your eyes never move from the code area.
Active tab monitoring
Platforms will check if your cursor becomes inactive, or if you move from the active tab.
Interview Coder is designed so that when you toggle visibility with ⌘ +B, your cursor will stay focused, and your active tab will not change at all.
