The freeRASP is available for Flutter, Android, and iOS developers. We encourage community contributions, investigations of attack cases, joint data research, and other activities aiming to make better app security and app safety for end-users.
freeRASP SDK is designed to combat
* Reverse engineering attempts
* Re-publishing or tampering with the apps
* Running application in a compromised OS environment
* Malware, fraudsters, and cybercriminal activitiesKey features are the detection and prevention of
* Root/Jailbreak (e.g., unc0ver, check1rain)
* Hooking framework (e.g., Frida, Shadow)
* Untrusted installation method
* App/Device (un)bindingAdditional freeRASP features include low latency, easy integration and a weekly [Security Report](#security-report) containing detailed information about detected incidents and potential threats, summarizing the state of your app security.
The commercial version provides a top-notch protection level, extra features, support and maintenance. One of the most valued commercial features is AppiCrypt® - App Integrity Cryptogram.
It allows easy to implement API protection and App Integrity verification on the backend to prevent API abuse:
* Bruteforce attacks
* Botnets
* Session-hijacking
* DDoSIt is a unified solution that works across all mobile platforms without dependency on external web services (i.e., without extra latency, an additional point of failure, and maintenance costs).

# Usage
We will guide you step-by-step, but you can always check the expected result in the example.
## Step 1: Prepare freeRASP library
Run following command inside the project directory to add the freeRASP dependency:
```bash
flutter pub add freerasp
```### iOS setup
**If you are upgrading from a previous version of freeRASP**, please remove the old `TalsecRuntime.xcframework`
and integration script from your project:
1. Go to your project's `ios` folder
2. Open `Runner.xcworkspace` in Xcode
3. On top bar select `Product` -> `Scheme` -> `Edit Scheme...`
4. On the left side select `Build` -> `Pre-actions`
5. Find integration script and click trash icon on the right side to remove it
6. Open the `.flutter-plugins` (in the root folder of the app), and get the address, where the freerasp is installed.
7. Go to the given folder, and remove the freerasp folder file.
8. Delete .symlinks folder from project.
9. Run `pub get`
10. Run `pod install` to test it**Otherwise, no further setup is required.**
**Note: You need Xcode 14.3.1 to be able to build the application.**
### Android setup
* From root of your project, go to **android > app > build.gradle**
* In `defaultConfig` update `minSdkVersion` to at least **23** (Android 6.0) or higher```gradle
android {
...
defaultConfig {
...
minSdkVersion 23
...
}
...
}
```## Step 2: Setup the Configuration for your App
Add imports to the top of the file where you want to use Talsec:
```dart
import 'package:freerasp/freerasp.dart';
```To properly configure freeRASP for your app, you need to initialize it with a configuration that contains relevant details about your app. In addition for freeRASP to work correctly, it is necessary that Flutter Bindings are initialized. This can be satisfied by calling `WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized()`, as shown in the code snippet below.
```dart
void main() {
...// This line is important!
WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();// create configuration for freeRASP
final config = TalsecConfig(
/// For Android
androidConfig: AndroidConfig(
packageName: 'your.package.name',
signingCertHashes: [
'AKoRu...'
],
supportedStores: ['some.other.store'],
),/// For iOS
iosConfig: IOSConfig(
bundleIds: ['YOUR_APP_BUNDLE_ID'],
teamId: 'M8AK35...',
),
watcherMail: '[email protected]',
isProd: true,
);
}
```Here, a `TalsecConfig` is created with both `AndroidConfig` and `IOSConfig`. Identifiers `packageName` and `signingCertHashes` are required for Android
version.* `packageName` - package name of your app you chose when you created it
* `signingCertHashes` - list of hashes of the certificates of the keys which were
used to sign the application. At least one hash value must be provided. **Hashes which are passed
here must be encoded in Base64 form**We provide a handy util tool to help you convert your SHA-256 hash to Base64:
```dart
// Signing hash of your app
String base64Hash = hashConverter.fromSha256toBase64(sha256HashHex);
```We strongly recommend using **result value** of this tool in signingCertHashes. **Do not use this tool directly** in `signingCertHashes` to get value. If you are not sure how to get your hash certificate, you can check out the guide on our [Github wiki](https://github.com/talsec/Free-RASP-Community/wiki/Getting-your-signing-certificate-hash-of-app).
.Similarly, `bundleIds` and `teamId` are needed for iOS version of app.
Google Play Store and Huawei AppGallery are supported out of the box, you **don't have to assign anything**. You can add other stores like the Samsung Galaxy Store in the example code (```com.sec.android.app.samsungapps```). For more information, visit the [Detecting Unofficial Installation](https://github.com/talsec/Free-RASP-Community/wiki/Threat-detection#detecting-unofficial-installation) wiki page.
Next, pass a mail address to `watcherMail` to be able to get reports. Mail has a strict
form `[email protected]` which is passed as String.If you are developing only for one of the platforms, you can leave the configuration part for the
other one, i.e., delete the other configuration.### Dev vs Release version
The Dev version is used during the development of the application. It separates development and
production data and disables some checks which won't be triggered during the development process:* Emulator-usage (onEmulatorDetected, onSimulatorDetected)
* Debugging (onDebuggerDetected)
* Signing (onTamperDetected, onSignatureDetected)
* Unofficial store (onUntrustedInstallationSource, onUnofficialStoreDetected)Dev vs Release is currently managed using `isProd` flag in `TalsecConfig` class:
```dart
TalsecConfig(
isProd: true,
...
)
````isProd` defaults to `true` when undefined. If you want to use the Dev version to disable checks described above, set the parameter to `false`. Make sure that you have the Release version in the production (i.e. isProd set to `true`)!
## Step 3: Handle detected threats
freeRASP reacts to threats using _ThreatCallback_. Internally, each threat has its own callback (of `VoidCallback` type), which is called when a threat is detected.
```dart
void main() {
...// Setting up callbacks
final callback = ThreatCallback(
onAppIntegrity: () => print("App integrity"),
onObfuscationIssues: () => print("Obfuscation issues"),
onDebug: () => print("Debugging"),
onDeviceBinding: () => print("Device binding"),
onDeviceID: () => print("Device ID"),
onHooks: () => print("Hooks"),
onPasscode: () => print("Passcode not set"),
onPrivilegedAccess: () => print("Privileged access"),
onSecureHardwareNotAvailable: () => print("Secure hardware not available"),
onSystemVPN: () => print("System VPN"),
onDevMode: () => print("Developer mode"),
onSimulator: () => print("Simulator"),
onUnofficialStore: () => print("Unofficial store")
);// Attaching listener
Talsec.instance.attachListener(callback);
}
```Visit our [wiki](https://github.com/talsec/Free-RASP-Community/wiki/Threat-detection) to learn more
details about the performed checks and their importance for app security.## Step 4: Start the freeRASP
Start freeRASP to detect threats just by adding this line below the created config and the
callback handler:```dart
void main() async {
...// start freeRASP
await Talsec.instance.start(config);
}
```## Step 5: Additional note about obfuscation
The freeRASP contains public API, so the integration process is as simple as possible. Unfortunately, this public API also creates opportunities for the attacker to use publicly available information to interrupt freeRASP operations or modify your custom reaction implementation in threat callbacks.In order to provide as much protection as possible, freeRASP enhances security measures by implementing ProGuard consumer rules, which obfuscate specific sections of the SDK. **However, these rules are applied to your Android app code as well due to inheritance.**
Finally, if there is a problem with the obfuscation freeRASP will notify you about it via **obfuscationIssues** callback.
In certain cases, you may prefer to exclude this rule.
To remove the rule, you need to find `freerasp` in your cache folder. More about where to find the cache folder [here](https://dart.dev/tools/pub/environment-variables). Then navigate to the freerasp-X.Y.Z/android/build.gradle file and delete the line:
```groovy
consumerProguardFiles 'consumer-rules.pro'
```You can read more about Android obfuscation in the official documentation:
- https://developer.android.com/studio/build/shrink-code
- https://www.guardsquare.com/manual/configuration/usage## Step 6: User Data Policies
See the generic info about freeRASP data collection [here](https://github.com/talsec/Free-RASP-Community/tree/master#data-collection-processing-and-gdpr-compliance).Google Play [requires](https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/10787469?hl=en) all app publishers to declare how they collect and handle user data for the apps they publish on Google Play. They should inform users properly of the data collected by the apps and how the data is shared and processed. Therefore, Google will reject the apps which do not comply with the policy.
Apple has a [similar approach](https://developer.apple.com/app-store/app-privacy-details/) and specifies the types of collected data.
You should also visit our [Android](https://github.com/talsec/Free-RASP-Android/) and [iOS](https://github.com/talsec/Free-RASP-iOS/) submodules to learn more about their respective data policies.
And you're done 🎉!
# Troubleshooting
### \[Android] `Could not find ... ` dependency issue
**Solution:** Add dependency manually (
see [issue](https://github.com/talsec/Free-RASP-Flutter/issues/1)).In android -> app -> build.gradle add these dependencies
```gradle
dependencies {... some other dependecies ...
// Talsec dependency
implementation 'com.aheaditec.talsec.security:TalsecSecurity-Community-Flutter:'
}
```### \[iOS] Unable to build release for simulator in Xcode (errors)
**Solution:** Simulator does **not** support release build of Flutter - more about
it [here](https://flutter.dev/docs/testing/build-modes#release). Use a real device in order to build
the app in release mode.### \[iOS] MissingPluginException occurs on hot restart
**Solution:** Technical limitation of Flutter - more about
it [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50459272/missingpluginexception-while-using-plugin-for-flutter)
. Use command `flutter run` to launch app (i.e. run app from scratch).### \[Android] Code throws `java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: No implementation found for...` exception when building APK
**Solution:** Android version of freeRASP is already obfuscated.
Add this rule to your `proguard-rules.pro` file:
```
-keepclasseswithmembernames,includedescriptorclasses class * {
native ;
}
```### \[iOS] Building using Codemagic fails: `No such module 'TalsecRuntime'`
**Solution:** You have to adjust Codemagic building pipeline. Instructions how to do it
are [here](https://github.com/talsec/Free-RASP-Flutter/issues/22#issuecomment-1383964470).If you encounter any other issues, you can see the list of solved
issues [here](https://github.com/talsec/Free-RASP-Flutter/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aclosed), or open
up a [new one](https://github.com/talsec/Free-RASP-Flutter/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue).### \[Android] APK size increased a lot after implementation of freeRASP
**Solution:** In **android/app/src/AndroidManifest.xml** add attribute into application tag:
```xml
android:extractNativeLibs="true"
```Updated tag might look like this:
```xml
```
[As pointed out in this issue comment](https://github.com/talsec/Free-RASP-Flutter/issues/100#issuecomment-1904193110), setting `extractNativeLibs` to `true` removes native libraries from the final APK, resulting in a smaller size. Conversely, setting it to `false` keeps the libraries uncompressed and stored within the APK, which increases the APK size but might allow the application to load faster because the libraries are loaded directly at runtime.# Security Report
The Security Report is a weekly summary describing the application's security state and characteristics of the devices it runs on in a practical and easy-to-understand way.
The report provides a quick overview of the security incidents, their dynamics, app integrity, and reverse engineering attempts. It contains info about the security of devices, such as OS version or the ratio of devices with screen locks and biometrics. Each visualization also comes with a concise explanation.
To receive Security Reports, fill out the _watcherMail_ field in [Talsec config](#step-2-setup-the-configuration-for-your-app).
