Hardware & Firmware

You work with the Tamil Nadu Cyber Crime team in Chennai. Your department receives a strange case. Someone is helping poor families across Tamil Nadu—paying hospital bills, clearing debts, and sending children to school. But this person hides their identity completely. They leave no name, no photo, no trace.

The government wants to find this person. Not to arrest them, but to thank them and learn how they operate. Your task is to track down this mystery helper. The only clue you have is that this person loves working with ARM boards and embedded systems. They leave small digital traces in the firmware they use.

Your team recovers some files from devices connected to this case. You must analyze bootloaders, kernel images, and memory dumps to uncover hidden information. Each file holds a piece of the puzzle. Find the clues, decode the secrets, and discover who this anonymous hero really is.
