Appdome uses A.I. and a modular architecture to bring efficiency and scale to the mobile injection prevention lifecycle. On one platform, mobile businesses build, monitor, and respond with 400+ mobile app security, anti-fraud, anti-ATO and anti-bot defense plugins in Android & iOS apps on demand. Each mobile injection prevention plugin automatically adjusts to the code of the app and uses a dynamic defense model that analyzes behavioral anomalies, identifies threats, and filters out false positives, all without a server or external attestation. If you want to eliminate big Epics and manual work, handoffs, and resolutions in your injection attack defense journey, Appdome is the right choice for you!
Appdome's Prevent Code Injection feature detects and defends mobile applications from code injection and process injection attacks, such as shared object and dylib injection on iOS and reflective DLL injection on Android. Code injection involves inserting or injecting malicious code into the memory space or context of a running process, typically to modify the app's behavior, bypass restrictions, including purchase and authentication restrictions, access the process memory and resources.
Appdome's Block Memory Editing Tools feature detects and defends mobile applications against mobile app memory editing and memory injection attacks. These attacks are used to inject data into a mobile application memory, alter account values, including mobile game or loyalty points and synthetic currencies, bypass restrictions, fake login, reuse or replay sessions or cheat inside mobile games and applications.
Appdome's Detect Hooking Frameworks and Anti-Swizzling features detect and defend mobile apps from attacks that intercept function calls within a running process and redirecting them to the attacker's code, including function hooking (intercepting function calls), method swizzling (replacing or augmenting methods in Objective-C), or event hooking (intercepting system events or messages). By hooking into functions that handle dynamic code execution or loading, attackers can inject custom code into the mobile app's execution flow.
Appdome's Prevent Keystroke Injection feature detects and defends mobile applications from keystroke injection attacks. Keystroke injection is used to enter or flood data, taps and other actions in mobile apps to masquerade as real users filling out forms, submitting requests, or performing transactions. Keystroke injection can also be used to deceive users into entering sensitive information, such as triggering password reset or fake login screens, or pop-up dialogs and notifications requesting malicious permissions.

Appdome's Anti-Frida toolkit features detect all forms of Frida instrumentation, including Frida-server, inject-mode, gadget-mode, custom Frida modules, Frida with Objection scripts and more. Frida is a dynamic instrumentation toolkit. It's used as an advanced debugging, reverse engineering and hacking framework. It allows an attacker to change a target mobile application behavior, bypass security measures, and extract information. If you need to detect or block Frida toolkit, pass mobile app pen tests or protect your app from Frida, learn what Appdome can do for you!
Appdome's Prevent Auto-Clicking feature detects and defends mobile applications against tap injection attacks. Tap injection attacks are used in click fraud, i.e., impersonating user clicks on advertisements or sponsored content in mobile apps to generate fraudulent impressions or clicks. Tap injection attacks are also used in loyalty program and referral program abuse, or to cheat in mobile games, by impersonating real users tapping on buttons, collecting rewards, or performing in-game actions.
Appdome's Block Shell Code feature detects and defends mobile applications from shell code injection attacks. Shell code is typically a small piece of machine code designed to be executed directly by a system's shell, operating system, or other execution environment. For example, attackers can inject shellcode into mobile apps running on compromised mobile devices, potentially leading to unauthorized access, data theft, or other malicious activities.
Appdome offers mobile brands and enterprises the only true Accessibility Service Malware and ATS Malware defense for Android applications. Detect and defend against the use of Android AccessibilityService abuse and ATS malware attacks, such as BrasDex, Xenomorph, CraxRat, Octo, and more. Defend against user input and data harvesting, OTP hijacking, transaction hijacking, Remote Access Trojans (RATs) and more from inside the Android application, gather data on the attack, set trusted accessibility services and more with ease.
When mobile injection attacks happens in your Android or iOS game, you don't have to block to stop the attack. Instead, mobile game makers and publishers can use Threat-Events™ to transform the cheat into a monetizable moment for your mobile game business. Use Threat-Events to gather data on the cheat method, tool or app used and use that data to make offers, promotions, sponsorships, and create affiliate programs with cheat developers.
Appdome automates the work out of mobile injection attack 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 mobile injection attack prevention, try Appdome..
