How to Detect Malicious Proxies in Android & iOS Apps

Last updated June 2, 2024 by Appdome

Learn to Detect Malicious Proxy in Mobile apps, in mobile CI/CD with a Data-Driven DevSecOps™ build system.

What are Malicious Proxies?

Malicious proxies are proxy servers that are often used by malicious agents in mobile Man in the Middle (MiTM) attacks.

Hackers target insecure networks and Wi-Fi connections and hijack the connection between a mobile app and the server to which the app tries to connect. They then redirect the session to malicious proxies so they can perform malevolent actions such as harvesting data, stealing credentials, and depositing malware.

How Does Appdome Prevent the use of Malicious Proxy Servers?

When the Malicious Proxy Detection is enabled, Appdome detects any attempt to connect to or from unknown, untrusted, or malicious proxies or other intermediary devices.

Prerequisites for Using Malicious Proxy Detection:

To use Appdome’s mobile app security build system to Detect Malicious Proxy , you’ll need:

Appdome account (create a free Appdome account here)
A license for Pin to Host/MiTM Prevention
Mobile App (.ipa for iOS, or .apk or .aab for Android)
Signing Credentials (see Signing Secure Android apps and Signing Secure iOS apps)

Detect Malicious Proxy on Mobile apps using Appdome

On Appdome, follow these simple steps to create self-defending Mobile Apps that Detect Malicious Proxy without an SDK or gateway:

Upload the Mobile App to Appdome.
1. Upload an app to Appdome’s Mobile App Security Build System
2. Upload Method: Appdome Console or DEV-API
3. Mobile App Formats: .ipa for iOS, or .apk or .aab for Android
4. Malicious Proxy Detection Compatible With: Obj-C, Java, JS, C#, C++, Swift, Kotlin, Flutter, React Native, Unity, Xamarin, and more
Build the feature: Malicious Proxy Detection.
1. Building Malicious Proxy Detection by using Appdome’s DEV-API:
  1. Create and name the Fusion Set (security template) that will contain the Malicious Proxy Detection feature as shown below:
  2. Follow the steps in Sections 2.2.1-2.2.2 of this article, Building the Malicious Proxy Detection feature via Appdome Console, to add the Malicious Proxy Detection feature to this Fusion Set.
  3. Open the Fusion Set Detail Summary by clicking the “...” symbol on the far-right corner of the Fusion Set. Copy the Fusion Set ID from the Fusion Set Detail Summary (as shown below):”
    
    Figure 2: Fusion Set Detail Summary
    Note: Annotating the Fusion Set to identify the protection(s) selected is optional only (not mandatory).
  4. Follow the instructions below to use the Fusion Set ID inside any standard mobile DevOps or CI/CD toolkit like Bitrise, App Center, Jenkins, Travis, Team City, Circle CI or other system:
    
    Build an API for the app – for instructions, see the tasks under Appdome API Reference Guide
    
    Look for sample APIs in Appdome’s GitHub Repository
2. Building the Malicious Proxy Detection feature via Appdome Console
  
  To build the Malicious Proxy Detection protection by using Appdome Console, follow the instructions below.
  1. Where: Inside the Appdome Console, go to Build > Security Tab > Secure Communication section.
    Like all other options in ONEShield™, Malicious Proxy Detection is turned on by default, as shown below:
    Figure 3: Malicious Proxy Detection option
    Note: The App Compromise Notification contains an easy to follow default remediation path for the mobile app end user. You can customize this message as required to achieve brand specific support, workflow or other messaging.
  2. How: Check whether MiTM Prevention is toggled On (enabled), otherwise enable it . You can see that the feature Malicious Proxy Detection is enabled by default, as shown below.
    
    Figure 3: Detect Malicious Proxy option
  3. When you enable MiTM Prevention you'll notice that your Fusion Set you created in step 2.1.1 now bears the icon of the protection category that contains Malicious Proxy Detection
    
    Figure 4: Fusion Set that displays the newly added Malicious Proxy Detection protection
  4. Click Build My App at the bottom of the Build Workflow (shown in Figure 3).
Congratulations! The Malicious Proxy Detection protection is now added to the mobile app
Certify the Malicious Proxy Detection feature in Mobile Apps.

After building Malicious Proxy Detection, Appdome generates a Certified Secure™ certificate to guarantee that the Malicious Proxy Detection protection has been added and is protecting the app. To verify that the Malicious Proxy Detection protection has been added to the mobile app, locate the protection in the Certified Secure™ certificate as shown below:

Figure 5: Certified Secure™ certificate

Each Certified Secure™ certificate provides DevOps and DevSecOps organizations the entire workflow summary, audit trail of each build, and proof of protection that Malicious Proxy Detection has been added to each Mobile app. Certified Secure provides instant and in-line DevSecOps compliance certification that Malicious Proxy Detection and other mobile app security features are in each build of the mobile app

Using Threat-Events™ for Malicious Proxy Intelligence and Control in Mobile Apps

Appdome Threat-Events™ provides consumable in-app mobile app attack intelligence and defense control when Malicious Proxy is detected. To consume and use Threat-Events™ for Malicious Proxy in Mobile Apps, use AddObserverForName in Notification Center, and the code samples for Threat-Events™ for Malicious Proxy shown below.

The specifications and options for Threat-Events™ for Malicious Proxy are:

Threat-Event™ Elements	Detect Malicious Proxy Method Detail
Appdome Feature Name	Malicious Proxy Detection
Threat-Event Mode
OFF, IN-APP DEFENSE	Appdome detects, defends and notifies user (standard OS dialog) using customizable messaging.
ON, IN-APP DETECTION	Appdome detects the attack or threat and passes the event in a standard format to the app for processing (app chooses how and when to enforce).
ON, IN-APP DEFENSE	Uses Appdome Enforce mode for any attack or threat and passes the event in a standard format to the app for processing (gather intel on attacks and threats without losing any protection).

                        @Override
                        public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
                            String message = intent.getStringExtra("message"); // Message shown to the user
                            String reasonData = intent.getStringExtra("reasonData"); // Threat detection cause
                            String reasonCode = intent.getStringExtra("reasonCode"); // Event reason code

                            String variable = intent.getStringExtra(""); // Any other event specific context key

                            // Your logic goes here (Send data to Splunk/Dynatrace/Show Popup...)
                        }

Using Appdome, there are no development or coding prerequisites to build secured Mobile Apps by using Malicious Proxy Detection. There is no SDK and no library to code or implement in the app and no gateway to deploy in your network. All protections are built into each app and the resulting app is self-defending and self-protecting.

Releasing and Publishing Mobile Apps with Malicious Proxy Detection

After successfully securing your app by using Appdome, there are several available options to complete your project, depending on your app lifecycle or workflow. These include:

Customizing, Configuring & Branding Secure Mobile Apps
Deploying/Publishing Secure mobile apps to Public or Private app stores
Releasing Secured Android & iOS Apps built on Appdome.

If you have any questions, please send them our way at support.appdome.com or via the chat window on the Appdome platform.

Thank you!

Thanks for visiting Appdome! Our mission is to secure every app on the planet by making mobile app security easy. We hope we’re living up to the mission with your project.
