Help/Support LIAPP Jailbreak Detection Bypass

[marc726 8 iPhone X 14.3]

Hi all. I was wondering what the best way to find and address the AppGuard/LiAPP detection on a certain app. I was using a decompiler on the UnityFramework file and I also tried using DNSpy for the Assembly file. My issue is:

 

1. I can find a Class for “CheatDetector”  in DNSpy using the assembly file that has a method for LIAPP but im not sure how to address it in the Live Offset program. I tried to NOP the offsets of the functions but nada.

2. I can also find instances in the UnityFramework file where it tries to find paths of common jailbroken thing such as Cydia. 

 

I'm not understanding which I should be addressing given that both show points of interest for detecting JB. Any help would be appreciated.

Have you first tried FlyJb X ? 

If you open the game, and enable FlyJb after its useless since the game will store that you are Jailbreak. 

Steps :

1) Delete the game. 

2) Re install it BUT DON'T OPEN IT

3) Open FlyJb and from there, enable ur app. you can use A-bypass if you want, i use FlyJB but use any good alternatives.

4) Open your game 

 

If that didn't work, you probably need to work with DnSpy...

Afaik you can't NOP a class, try to look functions / methods, maybe bool functions store if you are jailbreak or no. 

You can also search for function names containing "jailbreak", "root". 

 

I think the first method should work tbh, but if not good luck for the second one, it's gonna be a lot of work to test them

Unfortunately no known public bypass tweaks works at the moment. The only known bypass is on this site but I wanted to try my hand at it. I think I was able to narrow down the function to something called "_fb_is_jailbroken" thanks to Frida. My problem now is looking at the assembly and figuring out what's what, if there are other calls, etc. 

As for DNSpy, I have the feeling that it's not what I'm looking for. DNSpy does show a class "CheatingDetector"  and it does have a function labeled "onDetectedThreatWithLIAPP()" but it doesn't help me outside of that. 

It's quite the headache for someone who doesn't have experience in assembly or reverse engineering 😪

Mhhh i am not sure that this class is usefull for JB détection...

It seems dealing with "real cheat" but, if it's whatever dealing with JB, i would NOP / RET all of theses meth/functions.

All of them have obfuscated parameters, it's hard to know with what it's dealing. and also, ive search for this class online and it seems to be private, there is no documentation from Unity3D about it...

Yea, NOP RET all functions in that class still gets LIAPP called on me. I'm honestly stumped. I'm guessing the check lies in the UnityFramework file somewhere. Frida points to fb_is_jailbroken

Mhh it seems to be acting like this :

bool _fb_is_jailbroken(ID param_1,SEL param_2) {
  if (the check has determine that your device is JB) {
    alert("your device is JB");
    return true;
  }
  return false;
}

(my analysis only)

I would return false. As i said, i think the class CheatDetection is useless, i think it uses other thing to determine if jailbreak or not. Have you checked method names containing Jaibreak/root keywords ?

I'm so sorry I didn't see your reply! 

I tried to change address 006add08 to:

mov x30,#0x0
ret
 

since the complier showed no arguments for the ret function at 006add0c, I assume it returns the register at x30. As told here https://developer.arm.com/documentation/dui0802/a/A64-General-Instructions/RET
I am still met with the LIAPP screen after about 15 seconds. 

I agree with the CheatDetection class and I'm going to eliminate any chance DNSpy can show me the answer. Also the game is Random Dice Defense.

have you tried to search for the strings that the pop up shows inside iDA string view ?

This is the message I get. I search for instances of "JP1" "Appguard" "shut down" "security policy" but no results except irrelevant results for the last two.

mhhh then they encrypted the strings... well i have no idear about what you try atm... 

maybe in this case just navigate to all namespaces and classes trough the .dll using DnSpy, but this takes a lot of time
