The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
Adversaries may maliciously modify components of a victim environment in order to hinder or disable defensive mechanisms. This not only involves impairing preventative defenses, such as anti-virus, but also detection capabilities that defenders can use to audit activity and identify malicious behavior. This may span both native defenses as well as supplemental capabilities installed by users or mobile endpoint administrators.
Platforms: Android
Determine if the target mobile environment is susceptible to Impair Defenses by examining the target platforms (Android).
Review whether mitigations for T1629 are in place. If defenses are absent or misconfigured, this technique may be exploitable.
Mobile security software can typically detect if a device has been rooted or jailbroken and can inform the user, who can then take appropriate action.
Security updates often contain patches for vulnerabilities that could be exploited for root access. Root access is often a requirement to impairing defenses.
