Detect with Cheating through MOSS

Currently supports .cpp files only more coming soon

pet <user> <repo> -u <username> -p <password> -c <moss_id>

The resulting brown_noser.html will include a link so you can view the comparisons that MOSS detected as possible duplication.

Create a moss account so you can have a moss_id

Visit https://theory.stanford.edu/~aiken/moss/ and follow the instructions listed under Registering for MOSS. Once you send your registration email you will receive a response containing a bunch of perl code. Search the email for userid, your MOSS ID will look like this 11111927.
