How to Block Memory Editing tools for Android & iOS apps

Last updated November 9, 2023 by Appdome

Learn to Block Memory Editing Tools in Mobile apps, in mobile CI/CD with a Data-Driven DevSecOps™ build system.

What are Memory Editing Tools?

Memory Editing Tools are advanced debuggers utilized by Cybercriminals in order to accomplish advanced techniques during the app’s runtime. Debuggers can be misused by hackers in the following ways:
• Read and change data while the app is running.
• Attach to running processes and trace and modify application memory.
• Change the application’s logic or control flows as it executes operations.
• Bypass existing security protections (to disable tamper protection or to bypass a Root detection library).

Why Should Developers Block Memory Editing Tools?

You are strongly recommended to block Memory Editing Tools to prevent any harmful modifications such as changes to the application’s logic or data and modifications to the applications’ memory.
Appdome is a no-code mobile app security platform designed to add security features, like the ability to Block Memory Editing Tools, into any Android app. Appdome’s platform offers mobile developers, DevSec and security professionals a convenient and reliable way to protect Android apps against Dynamic Hacking.

Prerequisites for Using Block Memory Editing Tools:

To use Appdome’s mobile app security build system to Block Memory Editing Tools , you’ll need:

Appdome account (create a free Appdome account here)
A license for Block Memory Editing Tools
Mobile App (.ipa for iOS, or .apk or .aab for Android)
Signing Credentials (see Signing Secure Android apps and Signing Secure iOS apps)

Block Memory Editing Tools on Mobile apps using Appdome

On Appdome, follow these 3 simple steps to create self-defending Mobile Apps that Block Memory Editing Tools 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. Block Memory Editing Tools Compatible With: Obj-C, Java, JS, C#, C++, Swift, Kotlin, Flutter, React Native, Unity, Xamarin, and more
Build the feature: Block Memory Editing Tools.
1. Building Block Memory Editing Tools by using Appdome’s DEV-API:
  1. Create and name the Fusion Set (security template) that will contain the Block Memory Editing Tools feature as shown below:
  2. Follow the steps in Sections 2.2.1-2.2.2 of this article, Building the Block Memory Editing Tools feature via Appdome Console, to add the Block Memory Editing Tools 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 Block Memory Editing Tools feature via Appdome Console
  
  To build the Block Memory Editing Tools protection by using Appdome Console, follow the instructions below.
  1. Where: Inside the Appdome Console, go to Build > Anti Fraud Tab > Mobile Cheat Prevention section.
    Like all other options in ONEShield™, Block Memory Editing Tools is turned on by default, as shown below:
    Figure 3: Block Memory Editing Tools 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. When you select the Block Memory Editing Tools you'll notice that your Fusion Set you created in step 2.1.1 now bears the icon of the protection category that contains Block Memory Editing Tools
    
    Figure 4: Fusion Set that displays the newly added Block Memory Editing Tools protection
  3. Select the Threat-Event™ in-app mobile Threat Defense and Intelligence policy for Block Memory Editing Tools:
    
    Threat-Events™ OFF > In-App Defense
    If the Threat-Events™ setting is cleared (not selected). Appdome will detect and defend the user and app by enforcing Block Memory Editing Tools.
    
    Threat-Events™ ON > In-App Detection
    When this setting is used, Appdome detects that a debugger is connected and passes Appdome’s Threat-Event™ attack intelligence to the app’s business logic for processing, enforcement, and user notification. For more information on consuming and using Appdome Threat-Events™ in the app, see section Using Threat-Events™ for Block Memory Editing Tools Intelligence and Control in Mobile Apps.
    
    Threat-Events™ ON > In-App Defense
    When this setting is used, Appdome detects and defends against Memory Editing Tools (same as Appdome Enforce) and passes Appdome’s Threat-Event™ attack intelligence the app’s business logic for processing. For more information on consuming and using Appdome Threat-Events™ in the app, see section Using Threat-Events™ for Block Memory Editing Tools Intelligence and Control in Mobile Apps.
  4. Click Build My App at the bottom of the Build Workflow (shown in Figure 3).
Congratulations! The Block Memory Editing Tools protection is now added to the mobile app
Certify the Block Memory Editing Tools feature in Mobile Apps

After building Block Memory Editing Tools, Appdome generates a Certified Secure™ certificate to guarantee that the Block Memory Editing Tools protection has been added and is protecting the app. To verify that the Block Memory Editing Tools 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 Block Memory Editing Tools has been added to each Mobile app. Certified Secure provides instant and in-line DevSecOps compliance certification that Block Memory Editing Tools and other mobile app security features are in each build of the mobile app

Using Appdome, there are no development or coding prerequisites to build secured Mobile Apps by using Block Memory Editing Tools. 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 Block Memory Editing Tools

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.
