## What it is
Riru is a Magisk module that injects code into Android's zygote process, allowing other modules to run their code inside app processes or the system server. It is now deprecated in favor of Zygisk.

## Use cases
- inject code into android zygote process
- run custom code in android system server
- build magisk modules that hook android internals
- hide root modules from /proc/maps scanning
- hook native methods in libandroid_runtime

## When to choose
- you maintain a legacy Riru-based module on older Android setups
- you need zygote injection on a device where Zygisk is unavailable

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new project - use Zygisk instead
- your device is not rooted with Magisk
- you need actively maintained software

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: security, plugin-system, developer-tools
- domain: android-tools, security, operating-systems
- platform: -
