You wouldn’t HACK a CAR? A Pentester’s approach to embedded security on automotive ECUs. Reinhard Kugler (SBA Research) Slides: http://summit.riot-os.org/2024/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2024/09/02-3-Reinhard-Kugler.pdf --- Modern cars, tractors and other road vehicles are not just wheels and an engine anymore – they are a complex network of embedded systems, the electronic control units (ECUs). The software in ECUs operate all car functions and need to exchange information such as vehicle speed, errors and measurements via the CAN bus. This enables car manufacturers to create many features like cruise-control, self-parking or even autonomous driving. Security became a big concern in the last decade. Since the embedded systems (ECUs) contain intellectual property and are safety-critical, the developers implemented security features – but are those measures state-of-the-art? This talk gives an introduction on automotive security testing of electronic control units. It shows on rea
