Welcome to the PlagChecker4Python wiki!

A lightweight tool to ROUGHLY detect of code plagiarism in Python using bash shell.

Command needed in your linux distribution:cd, diff, echo, exit, find, grep, wc.

Newest version is 1.0.0. Using versions under it are not recommended.

Usage:

chmod +x diffcheck.sh
./diffcheck.sh 
or 
./diffcheck.sh -q/u/v -l/n/s/S=score

We are going to do a 2-step check to roughly detect code plagiarism.

• Step 1: Using diff tool to check if two files are identical, and basically analyzing those two files to judge suspected code plagiarism using a line limit($REJECT_LINE_SCORE).
• Step 2: Detect copyer and copyee by comparing their last modified time.

Note: You can convert the code to detect other languages by changing the annotation flag and the regular expressions in the source code.
