How the architecture actually works
Engineer-to-engineer posts on the Windows internals that make ring-0 stealth possible. The four-layer post is the canonical one.
Memory read vs screen-capture OCR
Why Aceloop reads problem text from process memory at the kernel, and why every screenshot-then-OCR pipeline is slower, lossier, and more visible.
The four stealth layers
Display-pipeline filtering, process concealment, window-enumeration blocking, detection-query spoofing: the four kernel layers that make us structurally invisible.
CoderPad Enterprise's anti-cheat
A forensic walkthrough of CoderPad Enterprise's detection stack: content scripts, hotkey enumeration, screen-share fingerprinting, process probes.
WDDM and the display pipeline
A 30-minute tour of the Windows graphics stack, application surface to display miniport, and where a screen-capture API can be filtered.
Run these before the round
Setup playbooks, decision frameworks, and platform-specific hygiene. Read the one matching the assessment you have scheduled.
The Windows stealth setup
10-step Windows-native setup guide for FAANG interviews. Hardware, screen-share hygiene, dual-monitor workflow: the things Mac guides don't cover.
Should you use AI on this round?
Eight forks, no preaching: a senior engineer's framework for deciding whether to use AI on a specific coding-interview round in 2026.
Using AI on a HackerRank assessment
Pre-flight checks, in-round rules, and post-round hygiene for using an AI interview tool on a HackerRank assessment in 2026.
Does CoderPad detect AI usage?
CoderPad's 4 detection vectors for 2026 explained, and which AI tools survive each. Includes the Enterprise variant (Amazon Chime + server proctor).
Six head-to-head comparisons
Aceloop vs every named direct competitor, with pricing, architecture, detection profile, and feature breakdowns.
Per coding-interview platform
What each platform's anti-cheat surface does, what Aceloop does in response, and what the recruiter sees on the other side of the screen-share.
The Discord
~5,000 engineers swap proctor sightings, share configs, and report mid-round results. Founder posts weekly.
The glossary
Plain-language definitions of every kernel-stealth, anti-cheat, and Windows-internals term we use.
Coverage
Independent mentions, candid reviews, and threads we've watched. Brand-quiet by design: every entry is a verifiable URL.
