Kaspersky Lab has provided instructions that allow you to check your iPhone for the presence of the Triangulation virus.
It is created via iMessage and transmits environment data to the attendance server.
You can only determine the presence of a virus in an iPhone backup. It can be created via Finder, iTunes or idevicebackup2. It is better to immediately create an unencrypted backup so as not to waste time decrypting the backup.
For further work, you need to install Python 3 and the Mobile Verification Toolkit (MVT) utility.
▪️ On Mac MVT via terminal and command pip3 install mvt
▪️ In Windows, MVT is created through the Command Line and the command pip3 install mvt
After installing MVT, you need to process the iOS fallback. To do this, you need to write the command:
mvt-ios check-backup -o $mvt_output_directory $decrypted_backup_directory
Several JSON and CSV files appeared in the mvt_output_directory folder. We are interested in timeline.csv.
