Mobile Verification Toolkit (MVT) is a collection of utilities to simplify and automate the
process of gathering forensic traces helpful to identify a potential compromise of Android and
iOS devices.

[It has been developed and released by the Amnesty International Security Lab in July 2021](https://www.amnesty.org/en/tech/)
in the context of the [Pegasus project along with a technical forensic methodology and](https://forbiddenstories.org/about-the-pegasus-project/)
forensic evidence.

_Warning: MVT is a forensic research tool intended for technologists and investigators. Using_
it requires understanding the basics of forensic analysis and using command-line tools. This
is not intended for end-user self-assessment. If you are concerned with the security of your
device please seek expert assistance.
