You work with the Tamil Nadu Cyber Crime Investigation team in Tiruchirappalli. A case has landed on your desk involving the illegal trade of ancient artifacts. A smuggling network has been using encrypted digital systems to coordinate the sale of valuable palm-leaf manuscripts stolen from heritage sites across the state.
Your intelligence team traced suspicious activity to a server in Uraiyur. The criminals store their operational data there, including digitized copies of stolen manuscripts and encoded messages about their next moves. Your mission is to access their systems, recover the digital evidence, and decode their communications before they destroy the trail.
This investigation has two phases. First, you must retrieve fragmented data files from their FTP server. Second, you need to break the cipher they use to protect their messages. The evidence you collect will help the department shut down this network and recover priceless cultural treasures.
Time is critical. The suspects may delete everything soon. Start your investigation now.
