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

I've been giving interviews for past couple of months and this github repo has helped me so much for system design perspective and I can see myself excelling at interviews. - https://github.com/donnemartin/system-design-primer

You'll be on opiod's probably the first 1-2 days, so sleeping should be fine. Everything will be allright, don't worry too much. Just use the time now to prepare for the time after, make sure you go through post-surgery-essentials thread. Once you are out of the OR you won't have the energy to think about those details, so make sure you take that prep serious.

Tooling isn’t architecture. Figure out what you need to handle both personas and volume/throughput and then lay out the capabilities you’ll need. As you lay out points of ingress, egress, consumption you can start to lay out sequences(think in persona and sequence diagrams to express interactions between services). Lastly, evaluate tools that offer some of these capabilities and weigh the trade-offs (there are always trade-offs: https://github.com/donnemartin/system-design-primer).
