In case you need need to know who is copying from whom.
I find that the best plagiarism detector is a source code repository.
And, as I tell my students, check in early and often. Nothing is better
for defending *against* charges of plagiarism than a nice rich revision
history.
I actually had an accusation of plagiarism against two of the students
in one of my classes. It was very nice to be able to pull the code and
the revision history and refute it quickly.
Besides--plagiarism is stupid. You can probably buy someone in India to
actually write the code for you for about 100 dollars or so.
My only defense against that is to make sure that the midterm and final
are worth enough to penalize that kind of behavior.
