# Introduction

Mobile security faces constant threats from rooting, jailbreaking, and hooking—techniques that grant deep system access but also expose vulnerabilities. Attackers exploit these methods to bypass protections, steal sensitive data, and manipulate apps. Understanding how to detect and defend against these risks is crucial for developers and security professionals. Dive in to explore how [root](root-detection), [jailbreak](jailbreak-detection), and [hooking](hook-detection) detection safeguard apps against sophisticated threats.
