Honest Hire Interview Integrity Scanner

A tool to detect potential cheating methods during online interviews.

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v14 or higher)
• npm (v6 or higher)
• Git
• For macOS:
  • Xcode Command Line Tools: xcode-select --install
  • Additional build tools: brew install pkg-config cairo pango libpng jpeg giflib librsvg pixman
• For Windows:
  • Visual Studio Build Tools with C++ support
  • Python (2.7 or 3.x)

Setup & Run

1. Clone the repository:

git clone <repository-url>
cd detect-interview-cheaters

2. Install dependencies:

npm install

3. Install Electron globally (first time only):

npm install -g electron

4. Start the application:

npm start

Development

To run in development mode:

npm run dev

Building

To create a distributable:

npm run build

Troubleshooting

There have been some issues with windows installation, where a depency called "fastlist-0.3.0-x64.exe" has been introduced by electron during the build process. The current fix is to either running the code locally as a dev server or building the executable file locally by running npm run build-win

If you encounter build errors:

1. Make sure all prerequisites are installed
2. Try clearing npm cache: npm cache clean --force
3. Delete node_modules and package-lock.json, then run npm install again
4. For macOS users: If you get permission errors, run sudo chown -R $USER ~/.npm

Features

• Display Configuration Check: Detects if multiple displays are connected, which could potentially be used to view unauthorized information during an interview.

Note on Detection Limitations

Please note that this application is at it's v1 stage and follows a low hanging fruit approach to detect a very popular cheating tool. As mentioned in the issue of #10 It may not detect all forms of cheating. Kindly checkout this mentioned issue for more details
