Code: Checking if the iOS is jailbroken

10/31/2013

0 Comments

 
Sometimes is useful to check if your app/game is running in a jailbroken device, specially regarding security issues. Although Apple does not provide you with a function to check if the device is jailbroken or not (and in fact, they shouldn't, after all, if Apple provides that function, it will be one of the first things that the jailbroken script would modify), there is a very easy way to find that out. You can just use the code below.
Objective C code:
FILE *f  = fopen(“/bin/ssh”, “r”);

If f~= NULL then
{
      //jailbroken!!
}

fclose(f)

Code: Calculating MD5 from a file using Corona

9/27/2013

MD5 is very useful to verify the consistency of file, specially after a file transfer. Below I show you how can you calculate the MD5 of file using Lua/Corona.
local function calculateMD5 (filename, systemDirectory)
    
    systemDirectory = systemDirectory or system.DocumentsDirectory -- using DocumentsDirectory as default if param not provided
    
    local crypto = require "crypto"

    local rfilePath = system.pathForFile( filename, systemDirectory  ) 
    if rfilePath == nil then  -- this can be nil when using ResourceDirectory. If using DocumentsDirectory or TemporaryDirectory, it will return "not nil" even if the file does not exist
        print("Error: file does not exist")   -- error
        return false
    end
        
    local rfh = io.open( rfilePath, "rb" )              
    if rfh == nil then
        print("Error: file does not exist")   -- error
        return false
    end
    
    local data = rfh:read( "*a" )
    if not data then
        print( "Error: read error!" )        
        return false
    end
    io.close( rfh )
    
    local hash = crypto.digest( crypto.md5, data )                
    
    return ( hash )   
        
end

Hi folks. 

We just released our new game for Android. Who is the Actor? is a trivia game that challenges the user to match the actor's face to his name. It appears to be simple, but believe me, it is not... As always, feedbacks are more than welcome.
