[IMPROVEMENT][RESILIENCE] Emulator detection is missing static and behavioral tests
Author: sgIOlasCreated Sep 25, 2026Updated Sep 25, 2026
Overview
Emulator detection should also receive the same treatment as root detection and get different tests titled:
- References to Emulator Detection Mechanisms: Not implemented today. This would check IoC strings in the app.
- Runtime Use of Emulator Detection Techniques: Implemented today (MASTG-TEST-0351). This uses frida to look for attempts of detecting emulator presence.
- TBD title template for behavioral runtime tests: Not implemented today. This would just open the app on an emulator and see if the app behaves differently.
Proposal
Implement the two missing tests.
