T1630.003 Disguise Root/Jailbreak Indicators

Sub-technique of: T1630

High-Level Description

An adversary could use knowledge of the techniques used by security software to evade detection. For example, some mobile security products perform compromised device detection by searching for particular artifacts such as an installed "su" binary, but that check could be evaded by naming the binary something else. Similarly, polymorphic code techniques could be used to evade signature-based detection.

Kill Chain Phase

• Defense Evasion (TA0030)

Platforms: Android, iOS

What to Check

• Identify if Disguise Root/Jailbreak Indicators technique is applicable to target mobile environment
• Check Android devices for indicators of Disguise Root/Jailbreak Indicators
• Check iOS devices for indicators of Disguise Root/Jailbreak Indicators
• Assess detection coverage (1 detection strategies)

How to Test

Identify Attack Surface

Determine if the target mobile environment is susceptible to Disguise Root/Jailbreak Indicators by examining the target platforms (Android, iOS).

Assess Existing Defenses

Review whether mitigations for T1630.003 are in place. If defenses are absent or misconfigured, this technique may be exploitable.
