Development
The Mobile Verification Toolkit team welcomes contributions of new forensic modules or other contributions which help improve the software.
Testing
MVT uses pytest
for unit and integration tests. Code style consistency is maintained with flake8
, ruff
and black
. All can
be run automatically with:
make check
Run these tests before making new commits or opening pull requests.
Profiling
Some MVT modules extract and process significant amounts of data during the analysis process or while checking results against known indicators. Care must be take to avoid inefficient code paths as we add new modules.
MVT modules can be profiled with Python built-in cProfile
by setting the MVT_PROFILE
environment variable.
MVT_PROFILE=1 dev/mvt-ios check-backup test_backup
Open an issue or PR if you are encountering significant performance issues when analyzing a device with MVT.
