Undetectability
Learn how Interview Solver 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 Solver, and how we counter each measure.
Detection Methods & Our Counter-Measures
Below are the common methods platforms use to detect cheating, and how Interview Solver makes each one ineffective. Each detection method is highlighted, with our counter-measure shown 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 most browser screen sharing software and screenshots. Invisible to Zoom ≤ 6.16. If you’re using MacOS please ensure you’re running at least Sonoma 14.7.1 or later.
Asking for reasoning behind solutions
Interviewers will ask you to reason out your solution and don’t just want code.
Interview Solver 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 Solver is designed so that when you toggle visibility with ⌘ + G, your cursor will stay focused, and your active tab will not change at all.
MacOS Screen Sharing Warning
Due to an unresolved bug in Electron, some WebRTC-based screen-sharing software may be able to see Interview Solver on MacOS while sharing your full screen.
To see if you’re affected, download the application and try to screen-share. If it shows, then you’re affected. Please use Companion mode to bypass this issue.
