There are some techniques used mostly to detect when students copy paste code. I've seen some of the tools in that space and they have varying degrees of accuracy. MOSS is a common one[0]. There are some vendors in this space too (BlackDuck comes to mind) but they're $$$ so only within the scope of large corporations. If anybody has any ideas relating to this type of analysis, I'd be excited to chat. I am working on a project[1] in this space for "Software Composition Analysis" which could potentially overlap with snippet detection for code like Co-Pilot. (We basically just have a big pipeline of analysis jobs that run on code and store the results. I need to update the docs!) 0: https://yangdanny97.github.io/blog/2019/05/03/MOSS https://yangdanny97.github.io/blog/2019/05/03/MOSS 1: https://github.com/lunasec-io/lunasec/tree/master/lunatrace https://github.com/lunasec-io/lunasec/tree/master/lunatrace
