Bypass MOSS technique which is used to detect code plagiarism
Link to no-moss online code editor : NoMoss
Moss (Measure of Software Similarity) is an algorithm devloped by Stanford for educational purposes to code up with code plagarism. This technique is being used by various competetive coding websites like CodeChef to keep a check on plagarism.

Although this technique is awesome but it isn't perfect. As it harms some innocent canddates while some criminals are able to escape.
NoMoss is a technique to bypass MOSS, which has been developed on the firm belief of
"No innocent should be hanged even though hundreds of criminals are to be librated."
besides No-Moss would also help in the development of moss technology by exposing its loopholes.
You can use NoMoss on its online code editor - NoMoss
For using NoMoss on standalone systems:
- Download JSP from Here
- Create a file name "input.txt" with your code inside it in the same directory as "NoMoss.jar"
- If your code is in JAVA or C ,add "//1" or"//2" (without quotes) respectively as the first line of your code.
- Now run the file "NoMoss.jar"
- A new file "output.txt" with your code will be created.
It utilizes the brute-force algorithm of the technique to create a NoMoss clone of the original code.
I am continuously trying to improve the algorithms of No-moss further so that it becomes almost impossible for a MOSS detector to detect plagiarism.
