Cracked

Cracked is an open-source toolkit designed to make technical interview preparation highly practical and realistic for software engineers. Instead of offering just a static problem set, it transforms popular coding agents—like Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor—into full-featured interviewers, leveraging company-specific interview datasets and coding challenges. Users can select from 470+ targeted companies and engage in simulated Data Structures & Algorithms (DSA) interviews, online assessments graded by hidden test cases, system design rounds, HR question sessions, and even project defense rounds, all within their coding agent's environment.

Job seekers also benefit from in-depth application support: features like resume roasts (including ATS scoring), job description gap analysis, GitHub profile audits, and detailed plans for improving their candidacy. Performance is tracked session-to-session, pinpointing personal weak spots to develop a focused prep plan. The toolkit aims to make each practice session closely mirror the real experience, adapting not only to company-specific interviewing standards but also to the individual's ongoing progress and feedback.

Cracked is completely free and open-source, making it accessible to coders worldwide. It is tailored for self-motivated individuals and small groups preparing for hiring processes in tech, especially for those seeking accurate, actionable practice rather than rote problem-solving.

Cracked is made for software engineers and computer science students preparing for coding interviews at top tech companies. It is especially useful for those seeking targeted, company-specific preparation, such as individuals applying to competitive employers or small groups running peer prep sessions.

Recruiters and university placement officers could also use it to benchmark candidates or organize realistic group practice. The toolkit is ideal for those who want actionable feedback and a comprehensive approach to technical hiring, covering everything from interview simulations to resume assessments and GitHub profile audits.
