HARDWARE INSPECTOR

Someone sends you a hard drive.

Your job is simple:

Find out everything you can about its owner.

You don't know who they are. You don't know why they sent it. All you have is the data left behind.

💾 INVESTIGATE THE DRIVE

Open the files.

Read the documents.

Examine the information.

Connect the pieces.

Every hard drive contains traces of someone's life — and it's up to you to figure out what they reveal.

🔍 WHO OWNS IT?

Your clients don't want a simple list of files.

They want answers.

Who is the owner?

What do they do?

Where have they been?

What happened to them?

The more you investigate, the more information you uncover.

⚠️ BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU FIND

Not everything on a hard drive is meant to be discovered.

Some files may answer your questions.

Others may create entirely new ones.
