We broke commercial root detection in Android apps 🔓📲
We targeted sensitive apps - finance, security, government - which use commercial protections.
We got them running on rooted devices.
That gave us full control to modify app behavior however we wanted.

Our team participates in public bug bounty programs to sharpen our vulnerability research skills.
We recently looked at Firedancer, a blockchain validator client, and found a remotely triggerable vulnerability.

Congrats to security researcher Liork (@LucidBitLabs) for earning $50,000 from a blockchain/dlt High vulnerability.
They're now ranked 83rd on the all-time leaderboard.
Pledge IMU behind them so that when they find new bugs and increase their rank, you both get IMU rewards.

Incredible.
Security researcher Liork (@LucidBitLabs) just earned $100,000 for their first ever report on Immunefi.
Oh, and this report earned Liork some pretty big Hunt Points, too.

Finally, we built a persistent module, and got the apps cleanly running on the rooted device across reboots, updates, reinstalls - no adb needed.

We reverse-engineered the apps, bypassing anti research protections.
We pinpointed critical 'decision points' in which the app determines whether its safe to run or not.
By hooking these points, we got the apps running happily on rooted devices
