I was wonder what other people (who reached out to OP for this gig on this sub about a week ago) found out about Keeta?

Did anyone managed to intercept the app's traffic?

What challenges did you guys' encounter?

As I also tried to take part in that challenge and encountered SSL pinning while using Burp alone, therefore I tried it with Frida in a rooted android emulator and encountered emulator detection.

However, because I'm unable to root my actual phone, I tried to inject the Frida-Gadget into the APK and repackaged it, to run Frida on a non-rooted device. But it turns out, they also have tempering detection, hence, patching won't work either.

Now, currently I'm trying to arrange an android device within my budge, to root it and run Frida server normally on it, as my current devices are not rootable.

However, while waiting for a great option (which is also within my budget), I discovered that they have root detection as well, but I only found it at 2 places in the decompiled Samli code and I asked someone on reddit to run Keeta on their rooted device and it worked normally there, because root detection can be bypassed sometimes.

Let me know what's your experience guys.

Hi folks,

I'm looking to buy a Samsung phone within a budget of PRICE: 6,000 INR. Second-hand is fine, but even third-hand or older devices will work, as long as they meet the following requirements:

  • Fully functional volume and power buttons
  • Working charging/USB port
  • Undamaged display (replaceable glass damage is fine, but the inner display should be in good condition with no major scratches)

RAM can be as low as 3GB or even 2GB, that doesn't matter to me. The camera and battery life also aren't important.

I'll be using this phone for lab/experimental purposes, so the specific series (A, M, etc.) doesn't matter.

However, it must be a Samsung device, as they are generally easier to root compared to Realme or Redmi phones, which I already own and find very difficult to root.

Hi everyone!

I'm working on an Android reverse engineering project and have tried a bunch of approaches, but none have worked so far. My last option now is to root my secondary Android device and test a few things on it.

However, I'm a bit concerned about whether the Keeta app will even work on a rooted device. If it doesn’t, then rooting my secondary device would be pointless and it would just end up as a lab device for no reason.

So I’m looking for a few people who can help me test this. If you have a rooted device, could you please download the official Keeta app from the Play Store and check if it loads normally? Also try using the search feature. If everything works, great. If not, you’ll likely see some kind of networking error.

Please share screenshots of both cases (normal search or networking error) either in the comments or via DM. Also include a screenshot from Root Checker or Magisk to confirm that your device is rooted.

If the app works on a few rooted devices, I’ll go ahead and root my secondary device and move forward with my project.

Thanks in advance for the help!
