The process will go through phases: Erase → Program → Verify → Build FTL → Format. FirstChip MPTools (Mass Production Tools) are used to
Detect the Drive:

- Indicators of compromise: Unexpected USB descriptors, unknown background traffic from the device, unlisted endpoints, or unexplained power draw patterns.
- Legal/ethical: Reverse engineering may violate EULAs or local laws—ensure authorization when analyzing devices.
