Practical Car Hacking - A Hands-On Approach

This course will cover a variety of topics related to automotive security. The most common networks used in modern vehicles will be discussed, and we will cover a variety of attacks on these communication networks found in cars, such as spoofing, DoS and MITM.

We will look at a variety of diagnostics protocols to talk to ECUs and extract their firmware, such as UDS, CCP and XCP. Other methods of obtaining firmware such as extracting proprietary update files, JTAG and Fault Injection will be shown.

After firmware is obtained you will learn how to quickly identify the relevant part of an ECUs firmware and reverse engineer it. Finally we will consider the wireless attack surface of a vehicle, such as TPMS, key fobs and EV charging.
