Episode 003.1 releases the first evidence package for Device 003, consisting of raw CT scan PNG images of the device in its original packaging. The series may also include bills of materials, recovered firmware, and memory dumps in later episodes. The CT scanner operates at resolutions down to 1 µm, enabling non-destructive reverse engineering of hardware without toxic chemicals or destructive de-layering. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
