🤖 RUNIC: Android tamper detection demo 📱
Welcome to RUNIC, an Android tamper detection demo! RUNIC is designed to serve as a parallel and introductory tool for understanding more complex tamper detection and integrity systems such as Google Play SafetyNet and Huawei Safety Detect. By exploring the inner workings of RUNIC, you can gain insights into the fundamental concepts and techniques employed in these advanced solutions.
RUNIC utilizes a client/server model where the application collects device variables and sends them to a server for processing. The server then provides a percentage score indicating the likelihood of the device being tampered with. This repository is the successor to the previous tool, Tamper, and is currently in a minimal viable product (MVP) state. If you have any specific improvements, issues, or feature requests, please use the issues tab.
RUNIC is an Android project based on Gradle, and it can be built using either Gradle directly or Android Studio. If you simply want to test the application, you can also check out the pre-built APK.
RUNIC utilizes Alarm Managers and JobSchedulers to run checks in the background while the application is installed. The main activity of RUNIC includes a settings page to configure its behavior, but please note that these settings are not currently enabled. As a result, RUNIC runs periodically and on device boot.
RUNIC gathers a collection of data from an Android device and sends it to the server for processing. After processing, RUNIC receives a score out of 100 indicating the integrity of the device. The data collected includes:
- Android Secure ID
- Application installer ID
- Boot state
- Verify mode
- Security patch level
- OEM unlock status
- Product brand
- Product model
- OEM unlock supported
- Debuggable status
- Application signature
- Emulator status
- Fingerprint status
- Storage encryption status
- Non-market apps enabled
- ADB enabled
- Lockscreen timeout
- Lock screen type
- Notification visibility
- Application permissions of installed apps
The application component of RUNIC communicates with a server for data processing. The server calculates a confidence score on the device integrity based on the received data. The server is also open source and hosted on Hugging Face. Data is stored indefinitely on the server and can be downloaded via the server UI.
The server performs the following checks:
- Debugging status
- Emulator detection
- Installation source (Google Play store)
- Boot state and verification status
- Previous log of the device and matching application certificates
- Comparison of variables between previous sightings of the application/ device
