Challenge 3: "Bus Whisperer"

Deep inside an abandoned research lab, you’ve discovered a prototype security device. It appears to be communicating with hidden components over an I2C bus. The traffic is silent to the untrained eye, but with the right tools, you can eavesdrop on the device's conversations and uncover what it's hiding.

Your mission is clear:

  1. Identify the I2C communication lines used by the device.
  2. Identify all connected I2C devices the system is interacting with.
  3. Retrieve the hidden message embedded in the communication.
