mvt VS plaso

Amnesty International released Mobile Verification Toolkit to check your phone for malware, by checking encrypted backups on your computer. https://github.com/mvt-project/mvt

From what I was able to read previously, it has no ability to spread by itself and has to be installed by a targeted attack. There is also a tool from Amnesty International that can detect it (or was able to): https://github.com/mvt-project/mvt

It is a race though, so past info may no longer be valid. However, I doubt it will ever be able to spread by itself, since it uses very expensive zero days to infect and they will be quickly fixed after detection.

Public Service Announcement:

Amnesty International has a program on GitHub with Citizens Lab for those keeping an eye out for additional protections

MVT (Mobile Verification Toolkit) helps with conducting forensics of mobile devices in order to find signs of a potential compromise.

You can do a backup of your phone and analyze said backup using digital forensics to see if for example "automated software" will detect any of the more mainstream spyware/hacks. You can use mobile verification toolkit (mvt) to do this, but it won't detect everything. It is however a good start, you can investigate the basic results with limited knowledge and if something is detected you can further it up to a digital forensics company because it will very highly likely be beyond your qualifications to analyze by yourself. Hope this helps.

I was extremly paranoid i got a virus a few months ago and i think i may have downloaded something. Its been more thank half a year and just remebered that i tried to download something from here,https://github.com/mvt-project/mvt i dont know if i was even sucessful, i am fully updated ios, cant find anything in files so i dont think i had it for very long and prob dealted after a whille

If you wanna check your phone, maybe try using this: https://github.com/mvt-project/mvt

if android, this is available -- https://github.com/mvt-project/mvt

However, what you are trying to do has already been done. For collections look at velociraptor's offline collector https://github.com/Velocidex/velociraptor. For processing check out Log2Timeline (plaso) https://github.com/log2timeline/plaso.

I see other folks already mentioned: think about trying to tell a story, rather than just like, looking at all the events (A tool like Plaso can help you timeline logs so you can see things chronologically which can help in telling a story about what happened across many log sources)

My advice would be to go through a timeline to assert the activity before and after these files "appeared" . This can be done in log2timeline / plaso , this script can parse the raw image (or e01 or whatever you have) and build a timeline , parse it and sort it. Also look for lnk files and shellbags to see if the files were opened , used etc.
