This commit makes a structural change to MVT by changing binary
detected/not detected logic into a structured multi-level system
of alerts. This gives far more power to extend MVT and manage
alerts.

This commit also begins the process of adding proper typing for
key objects used in MVT including Indicators, IndicatorMatches,
and ModuleResults. This will also be keep to programmatically using
the output of MVT.

-# ADB Analysis Removed
+# Deprecation of ADB command in MVT
 
-The ability to analyze Android devices directly over the [Android Debug Bridge (adb)](https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/adb) has been removed from MVT.
+!!! warning
 
-Use [AndroidQF](https://github.com/mvt-project/androidqf) to collect forensic artifacts from an Android device, then analyze the collected output with:
+    The `mvt-android check-adb` command has been deprecated and removed from MVT.
 
-```bash
-mvt-android check-androidqf /path/to/androidqf-output
-```
+The ability to analyze Android devices over ADB (`mvt-android check-adb`) has been removed from MVT due to several technical and forensic limitations.
 
-For a standalone Android bug report, use:
-
-```bash
-mvt-android check-bugreport /path/to/bugreport.zip
-```
-
-## Reasons for Removal
+## Reasons for Deprecation
 
 1. **Inconsistent Data Collection Across Devices**
-   Android devices vary significantly in system architecture, security policy, and diagnostic log availability. This made it difficult to collect reliable forensic data across devices.
+   Android devices vary significantly in their system architecture, security policies, and available diagnostic logs. This inconsistency makes it difficult to ensure that MVT can reliably collect necessary forensic data across all devices.
 
 2. **Incomplete Forensic Data Acquisition**
-   Direct ADB analysis did not retrieve a complete forensic snapshot. Critical artifacts such as full bug reports could be missing.
+   The `check-adb` command did not retrieve a full forensic snapshot of all available data on the device. For example, critical logs such as the **full bugreport** were not systematically collected, leading to potential gaps in forensic analysis. This can be a serious problem in scenarios where the analyst only had one time access to the Android device.
 
-3. **Duplicated Analysis Paths**
-   Similar artifacts were parsed through separate ADB, AndroidQF, and bugreport modules, which made behavior harder to keep consistent.
+4. **Code Duplication and Difficulty Ensuring Consistent Behavior Across Sources**
+    Similar forensic data such as "dumpsys" logs were being loaded and parsed by MVT's ADB, AndroidQF and Bugreport commands. Multiple modules were needed to handle each source format which created duplication leading to inconsistent
+    behavior and difficulties in maintaining the code base.
 
-4. **Workflow Consistency**
-   MVT now focuses on analyzing acquired artifacts rather than interacting with live devices directly.
+5. **Alignment with iOS Workflow**
+   MVT’s forensic workflow for iOS relies on pre-extracted artifacts, such as iTunes backups or filesystem dumps, rather than preforming commands or interactions directly on a live device. Removing the ADB functionality ensures a more consistent methodology across both Android and iOS mobile forensic.
+
+## Alternative: Using AndroidQF for Forensic Data Collection
+
+To replace the deprecated ADB-based approach, forensic analysts should use [AndroidQF](https://github.com/mvt-project/androidqf) for comprehensive data collection, followed by MVT for forensic analysis. The workflow is outlined in the MVT [Android methodology](./methodology.md)

+# Downloading APKs from an Android phone
+
+MVT allows you to attempt to download all available installed packages (APKs) from a device in order to further inspect them and potentially identify any which might be malicious in nature.
+
+You can do so by launching the following command:
+
+```bash
+mvt-android download-apks --output /path/to/folder
+```
+
+It might take several minutes to complete.
+
+!!! info
+    MVT will likely warn you it was unable to download certain installed packages. There is no reason to be alarmed: this is typically expected behavior when MVT attempts to download a system package it has no privileges to access.
+
+Optionally, you can decide to enable lookups of the SHA256 hash of all the extracted APKs on [VirusTotal](https://www.virustotal.com). While these lookups do not provide any conclusive assessment on all of the extracted APKs, they might highlight any known malicious ones:
+
+```bash
+MVT_VT_API_KEY=<key> mvt-android download-apks --output /path/to/folder --virustotal
+```
+
+Please note that in order to use VirusTotal lookups you are required to provide your own API key through the `MVT_VT_API_KEY` environment variable. You should also note that VirusTotal enforces strict API usage. Be mindful that MVT might consume your hourly search quota.
+
+In case you have a previous extraction of APKs you want to later check against VirusTotal, you can do so with the following arguments:
+
+```bash
+MVT_VT_API_KEY=<key> mvt-android download-apks --from-file /path/to/folder/apks.json --virustotal
