Identify which Promon products are present
Promon describes SHIELD for Mobile as post-compile protection against tampering, reverse engineering and malware. Its Android shielding process can encrypt packaged DEX bytecode. Promon also offers code obfuscation, asset protection and app attestation. A protected app can use one or several of these parts.
Encrypted DEX changes static analysis because the useful bytecode may not exist in readable form inside the package. App attestation changes network analysis because the backend may expect a live risk or integrity result beside the normal account session.
Trace code loading and server state together
We map the native initialization and the moment protected code becomes executable. Then we trace the application flow into its HTTP client. If the request contains an attestation value, we follow where it is requested, how long it lives and which server call consumes it.
- Inventory DEX, native libraries and application components.
- Observe decrypted or mapped code after startup.
- Separate account authentication from app attestation.
- Record the backend response to missing, stale and valid device state.
Deliver a maintainable flow
The result may be a complete independent client or a client paired with a small device service for attestation. We make that boundary explicit. The buyer receives working calls, refresh behavior, error handling and examples instead of an APK-specific collection of patches.
