Here's how to detect Pegasus and other spyware using iMazing's spyware detection tool: This tool does not replace expert assistance.

It is especially important for high risk individuals to understand the scope and limitations of iMazing's spyware analyzer so as not to develop a false sense of security – see 1.3 Scope and Limitations below. Please read the documentation carefully before proceeding. Results may be difficult to interpret and may contain false positives. A clean scan does not guarantee that your device is not infected. It can only detect signs of current or past infections by looking for known malicious file names, links, process names and emails. ⚠ Important disclaimer: iMazing cannot prevent spyware infection. For more context on the development of iMazing's spyware detection tool, please refer to this blog post. The ability for the user to customize the analyzer by providing indicators of compromise in STIX format may be useful for early investigations of future threats. The methodology implemented closely mirrors that of the open-source Mobile Verification Kit by Amnesty International's Security Lab. It can be used to detect signs of infection by NSO's Pegasus and has the potential to evolve to detect other threats. IMazing's spyware detection tool is available as a free feature in iMazing 2.14 and above.
