Block Commercial Cheat Apps

Appdome detects and prevents the creation and use of commercial grade, for profit, Android & iOS mobile game cheats and cheat engines like Cheat Engine and GameGuardian as well as mods and hacks created from legitimate mobile apps and games, to stop attacks against in-app economies, prevent fraud, and stop unfair game play. Commercial grade mods and cheats can include tampered & repackaged mobile apps, cheats that rely on Jailbreak, jailbreak bypass, Root, root hiding, and virtualization tools like Parallel Spaces and Correllium used to create multiple accounts for bi-directional cheating and fraud.

Block Dynamic Binary Instrumentation

Stop mobile game mod and cheat creators from using Dynamic Binary Instrumentation (DBI) attacks to modify how legitimate Android & iOS apps work, including using frameworks like DynamoRIO, adbi, QBDI, DynInst and more to run the mobile app to observe (dynamic analysis) or insert arbitrary code (instrument) into the app. Appdome delivers total protection against mobile DBI attacks used in modding, including dynamic anti-tampering, anti-patching, anti-hooking, runtime bundle checks, checksum, and app store signature validation, all to prevent app modification, modding and similar attacks.

Detect Memory Editing Attacks

Memory editing is a common technique used in Android & iOS mobile app modding because the attacker is not really interested in altering the business logic of the mobile app. In a memory editing attack, the attacker's aim is to change values, points, currencies, status, rank, attributes or other elements in the Android or iOS app for mobile cheating, event manipulation or mobile fraud. Appdome's Anti-Cheat defense provides a no code, in-app defense to memory editing, memory injection, ptracing, ptrace based attacks, VM-read/write patching, nmap attacks, SQL injection, and more.

Block Mobile Code & Library Injection

With Appdome's Anti-Injection Attack feature set, mobile developers can detect and prevent hackers, pen testers and others from using code, process, library and other injection methods and tools, like Interposing, fishhook, smali patching, odex patching, info.plist attacks, plist hacking, dvmap malware methods and more to inject static or dynamic libraries into Android & iOS apps. Injecting code and libraries offers hackers and researchers almost unparalleled ability to change, alter or interfere with the legitimate business logic of a mobile app and can be loaded at initialization or at any point where swizzling and similar methods can't function.

Easier Engineering Experience

Appdome automates the work out of Mobile app hacking & modding prevention so your engineering team can focus on what they do best - building great mobile apps. Let's face it, delivering continuous Mobile Cheat Prevention is extremely hard. SDKs, Wrappers and CLIs promise to make it "easier." But actually making these products fit inside your changing Android & iOS apps and your highly dynamic DevOps process is too hard, complex and time consuming. If you're looking for a better way to deliver app hacking & modding prevention, try Appdome..
