Overview

Mobile Verification Toolkit (MVT) is a set of command-line utilities that gather forensic traces to help identify a possible compromise of Android and iOS devices. Amnesty International Security Lab released it in July 2021 during the Pegasus Project, and it is still maintained by Amnesty and other contributors. It can check collected data against public indicators of compromise. A recent v3 merge introduced breaking changes to output that scripts may depend on.

Key features

  • Collects forensic traces from Android and iOS devices
  • Supports checking against public indicators of compromise
  • Built by Amnesty International Security Lab
  • Command-line tools for technologists and investigators

Best for

Technologists and investigators with digital forensics knowledge. The authors say it is not meant for end-user self-checks, so worried users should seek expert help.
