Appdome's Android Root detection works against 100s of popular Android Root tools like SuperSU, 1-Click Root, iRoot, KingRoot, RootMaster, Dr. Fone-Root, TowelRoot, and others. Prevent attackers and mobile app penetration testers from using Android Root tools to perform exploits, load malware or execute privilege escalation attacks against your Android apps. With Android Root Detection, Android applications can be made threat-aware and be self-defending against when these Android rooting apps and tools alter the Android operating environment used by your Android mobile app.

Android Root is often the first step for installing malware, using cheating tools, or launching exploits with frameworks like EdXposed or LSPosed. It is also commonly used in mobile app penetration testing to bypass protections. Appdome’s Android Root detection helps developers and security teams quickly identify rooted devices, maintain control of the app environment, and protect mobile apps and users from root-based attacks.

Protect Android mobile apps against advanced Android Hiding tools and methods. Root Hiding tools and methods attach and attack Android Root detection methods and attempt to interfere with, mask or hide the root event from detection. These tools, like Magisk, Magisk Manager, Magisk Hide and Zygisk are powerful root hiding and root detection bypass tools designed to conceal root, exploit or load other exploits Android apps. With Appdome's Prevent Root detection bypass, Android apps can detect and be safe from these tools and methods.
