The application for the patent was published on July 31, 2026, under issue no. 31/2026.
Abstract: The present invention (Write Blocker Device) relates to an intelligent multi-port hardware write blocker for digital forensic investigations and secure data acquisition. The device comprises a programmable main control unit configured to regulate communication between a host system and a connected storage device, a multi-interface connection array supporting USB, SATA, SAS, USB Type-C, and IDE interfaces, and an integrated power management subsystem configured to supply multiple DC voltage outputs. A write protection engine employing both hardware-level and firmware-level mechanisms prevents all write-related operations while permitting read access, thereby ensuring preservation of digital evidence integrity. Optional embodiments include cryptographic logging, hash-based integrity verification, secure boot firmware validation, modular interface expansion, and tamper-resistant housing. The invention (Write Blocker Device) enhances portability, compatibility, operational efficiency, and evidentiary reliability in modern forensic environments.
