In-App protection is a mobile security technology that allows mobile applications to check the security state of the environment they run within, actively counteract attack attempts, and control the integrity of the app. Such technology is also called RASP (Runtime App Self Protection) or App Shielding.
freeRASP is a mobile in-app protection and security monitoring SDK. It aims to cover the main aspects of RASP and application shielding.
📢 The official documentation has been moved to a new location. You can now find it here. 📢
The freeRASP is a lightweight and easy-to-integrate security library designed to protect apps from potential threats during their runtime. It contains multiple security checks, each aimed to cover a possible attack vector to ensure a high level of application security. Among other options, it is able to detect reverse engineering, repackaging or cloning attempts, and running in an unsafe OS environment. It is freely distributed for all mobile platforms and is also available for Flutter, Capacitor, Cordova and React Native developers.
You can check platform-specific submodules for the installation guide and specific details down below:
- Reactions to attacks and detected security threats via an API
- Simple download and install with clear source code snippets
- Insignificant effect on the app performance
- Weekly security report via email indicating security status of devices and app integrity
- Fulfills OWASP MASVS V8: Resiliency Against Reverse Engineering Requirements
freeRASP provides protection against potentially dangerous behavior, including the following:
✔️ Using rooted or jailbroken devices (e.g., unc0ver, check1rain)
✔️ Reverse engineering attempts
✔️ Running hooking frameworks (e.g., Frida, Xposed or Shadow)
✔️ Tampering or repackaging the application
✔️ Installing the app through untrusted methods/unofficial stores
