It all started with three kids, a haunted house turned into a headquarters, and a sign that read:

“We Investigate Anything” — The Three Investigators

Alfred Hitchcock and The Three Investigators was a young adult novel series that shaped an entire generation. Jupiter Jones, Pete Crenshaw, and Bob Andrews were a team of teenage investigators who solved cases from their secret headquarters hidden inside the Jones family junkyard — complete with secret passages, periscopes, and a direct phone line.

The protagonists

  • Jupiter Jones — The brain. Observant, analytical, with a prodigious memory. The one who connected clues nobody else could see.
  • Pete Crenshaw — The athlete. Brave (though he’d disagree), always the first to go where nobody wanted to go.
  • Bob Andrews — The researcher and archivist. The one who searched records, gathered data, and documented every case.

What does this have to do with DFIR?

If you think about it, The Three Investigators did exactly what we do in digital forensics:

The Three Investigators DFIR
Gather clues Collect artifacts
Follow trails Analyze logs and timelines
Connect evidence Correlate findings
Document the case Write the report
“We Investigate Anything” We Investigate Anything

The name We Investigate Anything is a direct tribute to their motto. Because just like Jupiter, Pete, and Bob, we also investigate anything — except our mysteries live in Windows registries, network captures, and memory dumps.

Who’s behind this?

I’m one of those kids who grew up reading The Three Investigators’ cases and ended up investigating for real — except instead of haunted houses and stolen paintings, my cases involve security incidents, malware, and lateral movement.

This site is my digital headquarters. My junkyard with secret passages. And you’re invited in.
