| Abstract [eng] |
This paper formulates and describes a method that allows for complete detection of unsafe system where root access is available on devices. Method aggregates existing and offers new detection algorithms. Method is based on multi-layer analysis of various groups of symptoms. This approach ensures that root access is detected even in those devices where there is a specialized cloaking software deployed which actively attempts to hide rooted state. A prototype based on the method was created using Android Studio in the experimental phase of this paper. Multiple tests were run against the prototype to account for variety of Android configurations and use cases. Based on results of those tests it was confirmed that prototype is effective tool for detection of rooted environment. Prototype or its derivations can be easily integrated with any Android mobile application that requires root detection functionality. |
