RootBeer

A tasty root checker library and sample app. We've scoured the internets for different methods of assessing has this device got root? and added some of our own checks.

#Checks Native checks are typically harder to cloak, so some root cloak apps just block the loading of native libraries that contain certain key words.. RootCheck is one! so you might want to change the native lib name.

Java checks

  • CheckRootManagementApps
  • CheckPotentiallyDangerousAppss
  • CheckTestKeys
  • checkForDangerousProps
  • checkForBusyBoxBinary
  • checkForSuBinary
  • checkSuExists
  • checkForRWSystem
  • CheckRootCloakingApps

Native checks

  • checkForSuBinary

##Disclaimer and limitations!

We love root! both Scott and Mat (the main contributors) use rooted devices. But we appreciate sometimes you might want to have a indication your app is running on a rooted handset. Plus we wanted to see if we could beat the root cloakers. So that's what this library gives you, an indication of root.

Remember root==god, so there's no 100% way to check for root.

##Contributing

There must be more root checks to make this more complete. If you have one please do send us a pull request.

Thanks to

##Other libraries If you dig this, you might like:

  • Tim Strazzere's Anti emulator checks project
  • Scott Alexander-Bown's SafetyNet Helper library - coupled with server side valdiation this is one of the best root detection approaches
