Know What’s at Risk

T-Guard helps you uncover suspicious activities on your Android device to prevent potential threats that may put your data, privacy, or device security at risk.

Unsafe Changes to Your Device

Checks if your device has been altered in ways that might make it less safe.

Apps Asking for Too Much Access

Finds apps that may want more control over your device than necessary.

Fake or Risky Apps

Spots apps that might not be safe to use or don’t come from trusted sources.

Unusual App Behavior

Detects apps behaving strangely, like trying to control your screen or actions.

Understand Your Results

T-Guard will run several tests to check your device’s safety and security. Here’s what it means:

Root Test

A Root Test helps detect whether the restrictions imposed by manufacturers of your Android device have been bypassed, indicating if your Android device has been rooted.

If rooting is detected, it unlocks your phone or tablet and removes manufacturer restrictions. This could void your warranty and potentially damage your device, causing your data vulnerable to access by hackers.

Play Integrity Test

A Play Integrity Test helps detect potentially risky and fraudulent traffic on an Android device.

Root Test Result Indications

Method Name	Description
Check Root Management Apps	Check if any apps for managing root access (like SuperSU or Magisk) are installed.
Check Potentially Dangerous Apps	Check if any apps known for facilitating root access are installed.
Check Root Cloaking Apps	Detect apps that can cloak or hide root access from detection tools.
Check for Dangerous Properties	Check if the BusyBox binary is present, commonly used in rooted devices.
Check for Su Binary	Check for the presence of the su binary, typically used to elevate privileges.
Check Su Exists	Another check for the existence of the su binary, via ‘which su’.
Check for RW System	Verify if the /system partition is mounted as read-write, a sign of rooting.
