Description
The Car Hacker's Handbook: A Guide for the Penetration Tester By Craig Smith Modern cars are increasingly reliant on complex computer systems and embedded software. However, these technologies have not kept pace with the evolving security landscape, leaving millions of vehicles vulnerable to attack. This comprehensive guide provides a detailed understanding of the communication networks and systems in modern vehicles. You'll learn how to intercept data, perform specific hacks, and exploit vulnerabilities in various systems, including diagnostic and data-logging systems, infotainment systems, and firmware and embedded systems. The book also covers low-cost, open-source hacking tools such as Metasploit, Wireshark, Kayak, can-utils, and ChipWhisperer. With this knowledge, you'll be able to build an accurate threat model for your vehicle, reverse engineer the CAN bus, and override factory settings with performance-tuning techniques. This guide is a valuable resource for anyone curious about automotive security and looking to explore the world of hacking.
