What is ReBuilding by Ammonitrix?

ReBuild is a private, internal process that Ammonitrix has carefully developed to provide the most effective solution for parents to ensure their children's safety online. It forms an essential part of our core service offering, enabling parents to grant their children some internet freedom while retaining control and gaining insights into their online safety. Through ReBuild, parents receive automated alerts whenever potential abuse is detected, empowering them to take proactive measures to protect their children.

What are "ReBuilt" apps?

"ReBuilt" applications are hosted on Ammonitrix's internal app store and are designed to address a critical challenge in ensuring online safety for children. These apps often utilize a security feature called certificate pinning, which prevents Ammonitrix or any other external entity from monitoring network traffic between the app and the app's platform servers. This certificate pinning feature, while valuable for adults seeking privacy, can pose concerns for parents attempting to protect their children online.

Other parental control apps often adopt a blanket approach by blocking access to entire platforms to safeguard children and teenagers online. However, this approach may lead to feelings of restriction among children and may even drive them to seek ways to bypass security measures, ultimately gaining access to unmonitored and unrestricted content.

How does Ammonitrix "ReBuild" apps?

Android apps:

For applications built for the Android platform, our process begins by acquiring official applications from their trusted page on the Google Play store. Subsequently, our AI-powered ReBuild platform decompiles the software package and meticulously examines SSL certificates, MD5 hashes, and other functions responsible for certificate pinning within the app. Our process may even involve debugging the application to identify any new methods employed by app developers to secure network traffic generated between the app and the app provider's servers.

Apple iOS apps:

Apple iOS apps are renowned for their robust security measures, which also apply to the process of decompilation, for any purpose.

As part of our ReBuild process, we have specially virtualized a group of Apple devices tailored for this purpose. ReBuilt apps that practice certificate pinning are automatically downloaded to the virtual device and decrypted using the built-in iOS operating system decrypt function. Once loaded into virtual memory, the local memory is extracted, revealing an unencrypted executable binary on the platform. Subsequently, the virtual iOS device uploads the binary file to ReBuild's API, where our AI performs certificate pinning mitigation or certificate swapping. It also diligently checks for md5 hashes and any functions designed to prevent such modifications. After swapping the certificates, the modified app's source code is compiled and signed by Ammonitrix's internal signing server, making the ReBuilt app available on the internal Ammonitrix app store.

Distributing DMCA-Protected Content:

Ammonitrix adheres strictly to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) regulations and places great emphasis on respecting intellectual property rights. We do not support or condone the unauthorized distribution of DMCA-protected content on our platform. Each request we receive concerning DMCA-protected content is meticulously processed on a case-by-case basis, ensuring that only paid apps legitimately obtained are considered for our ReBuild process.

Legality and Decompiling for Cyber Security Purposes:

Ammonitrix understands the importance of adhering to legal and ethical standards in all aspects of our operations. We want to emphasize the rights of both users and developers in our approach to app decompilation and ReBuilding.

Regarding the DMCA exemption for decompiling apps for cyber security purposes, we are committed to upholding the spirit of this exemption while maintaining the highest level of legal compliance. Decompilation for legitimate cyber security research and analysis is essential to identify potential vulnerabilities, safeguard user data, and enhance the overall security of applications.

Justification for Decompiling Applications Owned by Users:

The DMCA recognizes that users may have valid reasons to decompile applications they legally own, even if it violates the applicaton's Terms of Service. Decompilation can be crucial for users seeking to verify the security of applications they use, conduct cybersecurity research, or identify any potential risks to their personal data and privacy.

Moreover, keeping backup copies of applications is a prudent practice that ensures users can continue to access and use applications they have rightfully acquired, even in cases where those apps are no longer available through official channels. This approach empowers users to retain control over their app collection and ensures a consistent experience even in uncertain circumstances.

However, while users have rights to decompile applications they own for specific legitimate purposes, it is imperative to emphasize the importance of adhering to copyright laws and respecting developers' intellectual property rights. This is why each app is ReBuilt on a case-by-case basis, never sharing applications between parties. Decompilation should always be carried out responsibly, within the bounds of applicable laws, and exclusively for lawful and ethical purposes, avoiding any unauthorized distribution or commercial gain.
