Mobile Verification Toolkit (MVT) is a Python command-line toolkit for conducting forensic analysis of Android and iOS devices to detect traces of spyware compromise. Developed by Amnesty International's Security Lab during the Pegasus Project, it scans devices and backups against indicators of compromise from known spyware campaigns.
Use cases
- scan an iPhone for traces of Pegasus spyware
- check an Android device for signs of compromise
- analyze iOS backups and crash logs for forensic evidence
- run indicators of compromise against a mobile device
- perform consensual forensic triage of a client's phone
- investigate suspected spyware targeting of civil society
When to choose
- you are a forensic investigator or technologist analyzing Android or iOS devices for spyware
- you need to scan devices against published IOC lists from research groups
- you want an open-source, community-maintained mobile forensics tool
When to avoid
- you are an end user wanting to self-check your device without forensic expertise
- you need a point-and-click GUI tool
- you require native Windows support without WSL
- you need guaranteed detection - public IOCs alone can miss recent compromises
