A hardware reverse engineering series episode covering PCB analysis techniques for an unknown device. The post details the process of depopulating a circuit board to obtain clean CT scans, explains challenges of 2D vs 3D imaging, discusses how to interpret via overlaps and multi-layer traces in grayscale CT images, and describes how isometric 3D views help trace signal paths. The goal is to reconstruct a full board layout and schematic from CT scan artifacts combined with a Bill of Materials.
