The so-called “magisk cheat” refers to a cheat tool that gains root privileges through the Magisk tool and conceals evidence of cheating. Mask is a commonly available root tool on the market, primarily designed to provide a root environment for devices while hiding both the root status and its own presence.
For game cheats, the root privileges provided by Masquerade create the essential environment for running memory modifiers, SpeedHacks, and similar tools, while its stealthy implementation elevates the intensity of security countermeasures to unprecedented levels.
To evade detection, the magisk cheat can randomize the package name and reinstall with a new application name. After repeatedly hiding the app, we observed that the randomly generated package names for Magisk Manager APKs differed across installations—not only were the package names randomized, but the signatures were also altered.
The magisk cheat can also achieve global root privilege hiding through the Shamiko module. Simply install the module and reboot the device to conceal root privileges.
Cheaters can also use the LSP framework within the mask to add game Cheats, modifiers, and other applications to the template and set them as invisible. They then apply the template to the game, enabling the concealment of Cheats and modifiers during gameplay to evade security detection.
By following these steps, clues that could potentially trigger detection—such as root privileges, masked applications, and magisk cheat—are concealed, enabling bypass of most conventional detection methods.
Due to the low-level implementation of magisk cheats combined with a series of concealment techniques, countermeasures have become significantly more challenging. Effectively detecting magisk cheats has long been a persistent challenge in the game security industry. To address this, JikGuard has developed a proprietary solution that has been integrated into multiple popular games and demonstrated outstanding detection capabilities.
Specialized Detection for Magisk Cheats
JikGuard's exclusive detection solution accurately identifies and triggers crash operations even when all hidden options within the magisk cheat are fully enabled.
Security Risk Environment Detection
Unlike other products on the market, JikGuard employs deeper-level detection methods to precisely identify game runtime environments. It can recognize various risk environments such as rooted devices, virtual machines, virtual frameworks, cloud phones, and jailbroken devices, while providing customized crash prevention strategies.
