-# Check over ADB
+# ADB Analysis Removed
 
-In order to check an Android device over the [Android Debug Bridge (adb)](https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/adb) you will first need to install [Android SDK Platform Tools](https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools). If you have installed [Android Studio](https://developer.android.com/studio/) you should already have access to `adb` and other utilities.
+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.
 
-While many Linux distributions already package Android Platform Tools (for example `android-platform-tools-base` on Debian), it is preferable to install the most recent version from the official website. Packaged versions might be outdated and incompatible with most recent Android handsets.
-
-Next you will need to enable debugging on the Android device you are testing. [Please follow the official instructions on how to do so.](https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/adb)
-
-## Connecting over USB
-
-The easiest way to check the device is over a USB transport. You will need to have USB debugging enabled and the device plugged into your computer. If everything is configured appropriately you should see your device when launching the command `adb devices`.
-
-Now you can try launching MVT with:

 ```
 
-!!! warning
-    The `check-adb` command is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
-    Whenever possible, prefer acquiring device data using the AndroidQF project (https://github.com/mvt-project/androidqf/) and then analyze those acquisitions with MVT.
-
-    Running `mvt-android check-adb` will also emit a runtime deprecation warning advising you to migrate to AndroidQF.
-
-If you have previously started an adb daemon MVT will alert you and require you to kill it with `adb kill-server` and relaunch the command.
-
-!!! warning
-    MVT relies on the Python library [adb-shell](https://pypi.org/project/adb-shell/) to connect to an Android device, which relies on libusb for the USB transport. Because of known driver issues, Windows users [are recommended](https://github.com/JeffLIrion/adb_shell/issues/118) to install appropriate drivers using [Zadig](https://zadig.akeo.ie/). Alternatively, an easier option might be to use the TCP transport and connect over Wi-Fi as describe next.
-
-## Connecting over Wi-FI
-
-When connecting to the device over USB is not possible or not working properly, an alternative option is to connect over the network. In order to do so, first launch an adb daemon at a fixed port number:
+For a standalone Android bug report, use:
 
 ```bash
-adb tcpip 5555
+mvt-android check-bugreport /path/to/bugreport.zip
 ```
 
-Then you can specify the IP address of the phone with the adb port number to MVT like so:
+## Reasons for Removal
 
-```bash
-mvt-android check-adb --serial 192.168.1.20:5555 --output /path/to/results
-```
+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.
 
-Where `192.168.1.20` is the correct IP address of your device.
+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.
 
-!!! warning
-    The `check-adb` workflow shown above is deprecated. If you can acquire an AndroidQF acquisition from the device (recommended), use the AndroidQF project to create that acquisition: https://github.com/mvt-project/androidqf/
-    
-    AndroidQF acquisitions provide a more stable, reproducible analysis surface and are the preferred workflow going forward.
+3. **Duplicated Analysis Paths**
+   Similar artifacts were parsed through separate ADB, AndroidQF, and bugreport modules, which made behavior harder to keep consistent.
 
-## MVT modules requiring root privileges
-
-!!! warning
-    Deprecated: many `mvt-android check-adb` workflows are deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Whenever possible, prefer acquiring an AndroidQF acquisition using the AndroidQF project (https://github.com/mvt-project/androidqf/). 
-
-Of the currently available `mvt-android check-adb` modules a handful require root privileges to function correctly. This is because certain files, such as browser history and SMS messages databases are not accessible with user privileges through adb. These modules are to be considered OPTIONALLY available in case the device was already jailbroken. **Do NOT jailbreak your own device unless you are sure of what you are doing!** Jailbreaking your phone exposes it to considerable security risks!
+4. **Workflow Consistency**
+   MVT now focuses on analyzing acquired artifacts rather than interacting with live devices directly.

+# Check Android Intrusion Logs
+
+Recent versions of Android can produce structured *Intrusion Logs* — newline-delimited JSON records derived from the platform's [SecurityLog API](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/admin/SecurityLog). Intrusion Logging is offered as a new option under Android's **Advanced Protection Mode**, which users can opt into on their device; no MDM or device-policy configuration is required. When enabled, these logs provide a high-fidelity record of process starts, DNS queries, outbound network connections, ADB activity, keyguard events, and other security-relevant operations. The initial Intrusion Logging feature was released for Android 16 in May 2026. The feature and supported events is likely to be expanded over time.
+
+For background on how this data source was introduced and why it is forensically valuable, see the Amnesty International Security Lab announcement: [Android Intrusion Logging as a new source of data for consensual forensic analysis](https://securitylab.amnesty.org/latest/2026/05/android-intrusion-logging-as-a-new-source-of-data-for-consensual-forensic-analysis/).
+
+## Recommended workflow: collect with AndroidQF
+
+[AndroidQF](https://github.com/mvt-project/androidqf) is the recommended way to acquire data from an Android device for analysis with MVT. During acquisition AndroidQF will prompt the user to also collect intrusion logs from the device, and writes them into an `intrusion-logs/` subdirectory of the acquisition output.
+
+When you analyse such an acquisition with `mvt-android check-androidqf`, MVT automatically detects the `intrusion-logs/` directory and runs the same intrusion-log checks described below — there is no need to invoke a separate command:
+
+```bash
+mvt-android check-androidqf --output /path/to/results/ /path/to/androidqf-output/
+```
+
+The device timezone is read from the AndroidQF acquisition (`getprop.txt`) and applied to event timestamps automatically.
+
+## Standalone command: `check-intrusion-logs`
+
+The `mvt-android check-intrusion-logs` command runs the intrusion-log analysis directly against a set of log files. Prefer the AndroidQF workflow above; use the standalone command when the intrusion logs were collected outside of an AndroidQF acquisition, or when re-analysing only a set of intrusion logs.
+
+## Expected input
+
+`check-intrusion-logs` accepts either:
+
+- a **directory** containing one or more `.txt` files (recursively), or
+- a **`.zip` archive** containing such `.txt` files (nested `.zip` archives are also walked).
+
+Each `.txt` file is expected to contain newline-delimited JSON, with one JSON object per line. Each object wraps a single event under a top-level key indicating its type, for example:
+
+```json
+{"dns_event": {"event_time": 1746979200000, "hostname": "example.com", "ip_addresses": ["93.184.216.34"], "package_name": "com.example.app"}}
+{"connect_event": {"event_time": 1746979201000, "ip_address": "93.184.216.34", "port": 443, "package_name": "com.example.app"}}
+{"security_event": {"event_time": 1746979202000, "tag": 210005, "data": ["..."]}}
+```
+
+Identical events that appear across multiple overlapping log files (e.g. daily rotations) are de-duplicated on a first-seen basis.
+
+## Running the analysis
+
+```bash
+mvt-android check-intrusion-logs --output /path/to/results/ /path/to/intrusion-logs/
+```
+
+A `.zip` archive can be passed directly in place of the directory:
+
+```bash
+mvt-android check-intrusion-logs --output /path/to/results/ /path/to/intrusion-logs.zip
+```
+
+### Options
+
+| Option | Description |
+| --- | --- |
+| `-i, --iocs PATH` | Path to a STIX2 indicator file. May be passed multiple times. |
+| `-o, --output PATH` | Directory where JSON results and the timeline CSV will be written. |
+| `-l, --list-modules` | List the available intrusion-log modules and exit. |
+| `-m, --module NAME` | Run a single module (e.g. `DnsEvent`) instead of all of them. |
+| `-t, --timezone TZ` | IANA timezone name for the device (e.g. `Europe/Paris`). When set, event timestamps are converted to the device's local time instead of UTC. |
+| `-v, --verbose` | Verbose logging. |
+
+## Modules
+
+The command runs the following modules over the parsed events:
+
+- **`DnsEvent`** — DNS resolution events. Hostnames and resolved IP addresses are checked against domain indicators, and the requesting `package_name` is checked against app-identifier indicators.
+- **`ConnectEvent`** — Outbound network connection events. Destination IPs (with localhost addresses skipped) are checked against domain indicators, and `package_name` is checked against app-identifier indicators.
+- **`SecurityEvent`** — Security log events keyed by Android `SecurityLog` tag IDs (e.g. `app_process_start`, `adb_shell_cmd`, `keyguard_dismissed`, `os_startup`, `cert_*` events). These are surfaced in the timeline to help reconstruct device activity around suspected events.
+
+All three modules share a single pre-parsing pass over the input, so adding more modules in the future does not multiply I/O cost. Additional modules will be added in the future to support new event types which are generated by the Intrusion Logging feature.
+
+## Interpreting results
+
+A successful IOC match raises a `CRITICAL` alert that includes the matched indicator, the offending event, and the event timestamp. Alerts are summarised at the end of the run and persisted alongside the per-module JSON results.
+
+When `--timezone` is provided, timestamps in the timeline and JSON output reflect the device's local wall-clock time. Otherwise timestamps are in UTC, consistent with the rest of MVT.
+
+## Limitations
+
+- This page assumes the intrusion logs have already been collected from the device. The recommended collection path is via AndroidQF (see above); intrusion logging itself must have been enabled on the device beforehand by opting into Android's Advanced Protection mode and also enabling the optional Intrusion Logging feature (see the [Amnesty blog post](https://securitylab.amnesty.org/latest/2026/05/android-intrusion-logging-as-a-new-source-of-data-for-consensual-forensic-analysis/) for details).
+- As with all IOC-based analysis, public indicators alone are not sufficient to conclude that a device is uncompromised. See the [Indicators of Compromise](../iocs.md) page for context.

 # Methodology for Android forensic
 
-Unfortunately Android devices provide much less observability than their iOS cousins. Android stores very little diagnostic information useful to triage potential compromises, and because of this `mvt-android` capabilities are limited as well.
+Unfortunately Android devices provide fewer complete forensically useful datasources than their iOS cousins. Unlike iOS, the Android backup feature only provides a limited about of relevant data.
+
+Android diagnostic logs such as *bugreport files* can be inconsistent in format and structure across different Android versions and device  vendors. The limited diagnostic information available makes it difficult to triage potential compromises, and because of this `mvt-android` capabilities are limited as well.
 
 However, not all is lost.
 
-## Check installed Apps
+## Check Android devices with AndroidQF and MVT
 
-Because malware attacks over Android typically take the form of malicious or backdoored apps, the very first thing you might want to do is to extract and verify all installed Android packages and triage quickly if there are any which stand out as malicious or which might be atypical.
+The [AndroidQF](https://github.com/mvt-project/androidqf) tool can be used to collect a wide range of forensic artifacts from an Android device including an Android backup, a bugreport file, and a range of system logs. MVT natively supports analyzing the generated AndroidQF output for signs of device compromise.
 
-While it is out of the scope of this documentation to dwell into details on how to analyze Android apps, MVT does allow to easily and automatically extract information about installed apps, download copies of them, and quickly look them up on services such as [VirusTotal](https://www.virustotal.com).
+### Why Use AndroidQF?
 
-!!! info "Using 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.
+- **Complete and raw data extraction**
+  AndroidQF collects full forensic artifacts using an on-device forensic collection agent, ensuring that no crucial data is overlooked. The data collection does not depended on the shell environment or utilities available on the device.
 
-## Check the device over Android Debug Bridge
+- **Consistent and standardized output**
+  By collecting a predefined and complete set of forensic files, AndroidQF ensures consistency in data acquisition across different Android devices.
 
-Some additional diagnostic information can be extracted from the phone using the [Android Debug Bridge (adb)](https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/adb). `mvt-android` allows to automatically extract information including [dumpsys](https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/dumpsys) results, details on installed packages (without download), running processes, presence of root binaries and packages, and more.
+- **Future-proof analysis**
+  Since the full forensic artifacts are preserved, analysts can extract new evidence or apply updated analysis techniques without requiring access to the original device.
 
+- **Cross-platform tool without dependencies**
+  AndroidQF is a standalone Go binary which can be used to remotely collect data from an Android device without the device owner needing to install MVT or a Python environment.
+
+### Workflow for Android Forensic Analysis with AndroidQF
+
+With AndroidQF the analysis process is split into a separate data collection and data analysis stages.
+
+1. **Extract Data Using AndroidQF**
+  Deploy the AndroidQF forensic collector to acquire all relevant forensic artifacts from the Android device.
+
+2. **Analyze Extracted Data with MVT**
+  Use the `mvt-android check-androidqf` command to perform forensic analysis on the extracted artifacts.
+
+By separating artifact collection from forensic analysis, this approach ensures a more reliable and scalable methodology for Android forensic investigations.
+
+For more information, refer to the [AndroidQF project documentation](https://github.com/mvt-project/androidqf).
+
+## Android Intrusion Logs
+
+On devices where the user has opted into Android's [**Advanced Protection Mode**](https://support.google.com/android/answer/16339980) and turned on the optional Intrusion Logging featrue, Android can create and archive structured *Intrusion Logs* in an encrypted format. These logs record DNS queries, outbound network connections, process starts, ADB activity and other security-relevant events, and are a high-fidelity complement to the rest of an AndroidQF acquisition. The logs are generated on-device and encrypted before being stored in the Google account associated with the device. The encryption key is protected by the user device PIN. The intrusion log data is not accessible to Google.
+
+AndroidQF will prompt the user to download, decrypt and collect device intrusion logs as part of an acquisition. When they are present, `mvt-android check-androidqf` will automatically run the intrusion-log checks alongside the other AndroidQF modules — no extra command is required. This is the recommended workflow for Android forensic analysis with MVT.
+
+For cases where intrusion logs were collected outside of an AndroidQF acquisition, the standalone `mvt-android check-intrusion-logs` command can analyse them directly. See [Check Android Intrusion Logs](intrusion_logs.md) for details, and the [feature announcment from Amnesty International's Security Lab](https://securitylab.amnesty.org/latest/2026/05/android-intrusion-logging-as-a-new-source-of-data-for-consensual-forensic-analysis/) for background on the data source.
+
+## Android Debug Bridge analysis removed
+
+The ability to analyze Android devices directly over ADB has been removed from MVT. Direct extraction of data from ADB was error-prone and frequently resulted in inconsistent data collection between ADB and AndroidQF acquisitions. Use AndroidQF for device acquisition and `mvt-android check-androidqf` for analysis.
 
 ## Check an Android Backup (SMS messages)
 
-Although Android backups are becoming deprecated, it is still possible to generate one. Unfortunately, because apps these days typically favor backup over the cloud, the amount of data available is limited. Currently, `mvt-android check-backup` only supports checking SMS messages containing links.
+Although Android backups are becoming deprecated, it is still possible to generate one. Unfortunately, because apps these days typically favor backup over the cloud, the amount of data available is limited.
+
+The `mvt-android check-androidqf` command will automatically check an Android backup and SMS messages if an SMS backup is included in the AndroidQF extraction.
+
+The  `mvt-android check-backup` command can also be used directly with an Android backup file.

+
+Modules can require other modules to run first by declaring their classes in

+existing module list order is preserved wherever dependency constraints allow.

-## Docker usage with Android devices
-
-If you wish to use MVT to test an Android device you will need to enable the container's access to the host's USB devices. You can do so by enabling the `--privileged` flag and mounting the USB bus device as a volume:
-
-```bash
-docker run -it --privileged -v /dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb mvt
-```
-
-**Please note:** the `--privileged` parameter is generally regarded as a security risk. If you want to learn more about this check out [this explainer on container escapes](https://blog.trailofbits.com/2019/07/19/understanding-docker-container-escapes/) as it gives access to the whole system.

+    Log files can be large and are shared by every module in this package.
+    To avoid re-reading and re-parsing the same files N times (once per
+    module), the command layer should call :meth:`load_all_events` exactly
+    once and then assign the returned dict to the ``il_events_by_type``
+    attribute of every module instance **before** calling ``run_module``.
+
+    When ``il_events_by_type`` is populated:
+    * :meth:`collect_txt` becomes a no-op (no disk I/O).
+    * :meth:`parse_collected_txt` iterates the in-memory list for the
+      requested event type instead of re-parsing raw text.
+
+    Modules that are used standalone (e.g. in tests) still work as before
+    because ``il_events_by_type`` defaults to ``None``, which preserves the
+    original file-loading code path.
