OK my dear experts, I need some truly dirty skills here!
The scenario is this: a young Indian girl is captive in Madras, India.
Her big sister has a degree (from a famous Indian university) in IT and is currently doing an internship in Silicon Valley and knows all the latest tricks.
earlier she has taught her little sister how to email, and the little sister gets a chance to use the computer of her captors in order to contact her sister and so get help. This would be all be dial-up I assume.
I'm trying to think back to my own beginnings in email -- I began with CompuServe, and i think I had a number as ID? Or might it have been Yahoo back then?
I don't what details of how she did anything -- just need to know what kind of info the big sister might be able to find out, especially, could she read the captor's emails? Or would little sister have to send stuff from the computer storage to big sister, maybe lists of contacts etc.
She needs to do some detective work. It's a child prostitute ring she is trying to crack, though neither of them know it yet. Any suggestions? I do know how the story continues. it, the outcome, I just need some plausible tips on how the amateur detectives (two of them) succeed. Connecting the dots so to speak. And I know next to nothing about IT, and especially not what could be done back then, and what not.
Help would be much appreciated! I really need to crack this thing, no pun intended.
