Help! Root Protection

[Geno Modz]

How do I make my mod menus have root protection? I wanna prevent rooted devices from using them.

LGL mod 2.8

If they have root, surely they'll be able to hide root. So what's the point?

You can either codify simple root-checks in the main activity of lgl, or utilize tools specifically created to protect APKs, so it could implement an algorithm to verify if rooted or not.

Could you send me the code for the si.ple root checks? Idk how to do it

I dont need anything too complex, just a simple root check

write it in any language you want...

string pathFile = "/system/bin/su";
if(pathFile.Exist()){
    print("Root detected");
}

if you cannot write a simple check like this, then you have bigger problems than root detection.

Simple exemplification:

     if (isDeviceRooted()) {
            Toast.makeText(this, "This device is rooted. App cannot run on rooted devices.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            finish();
        } else {
 // implement your logic
        }


    }

    private boolean isDeviceRooted() {

        String[] rootIndicators = {
                "/system/app/Superuser.apk",
                "/sbin/su",
                "/system/bin/su",
                "/system/xbin/su",
                "/data/local/xbin/su",
                "/data/local/bin/su",
                "/system/sd/xbin/su",
                "/system/bin/failsafe/su",
                "/data/local/su"
        };

        for (String indicator : rootIndicators) {
            if (new File(indicator).exists()) {
                return true;
            }
        }

        return false;

Which library do i import for this

Which library do i import for this

i did not even write in one language i just used i guess 3 languages in this 2 liners lol.

for this kind of stuff you do not need any libs it is 100% possible to write it just with the language itself

for Android App use JAVA
for Android Native use CPP

just write in any language you are using, a simple check IF the file "su" exist

@JohnnyCappucino just wrote you a list here of all possible things

        String[] rootIndicators = {
                "/system/app/Superuser.apk",
                "/sbin/su",
                "/system/bin/su",
                "/system/xbin/su",
                "/data/local/xbin/su",
                "/data/local/bin/su",
                "/system/sd/xbin/su",
                "/system/bin/failsafe/su",
                "/data/local/su"
        };

like i said if you cannot do it then this is your smallest problem, first of all learn the language you are using.
