Car Hacker's Handbook

Have you done a threat assessment on your onboard systems?

The Car Hacker’s Handbook will give you a deeper understanding of the computer systems and embedded software in modern Â*vehicles. It begins by examining vulnerabilities and providing detailed explanations of communications over the CAN bus and Â*between devices and systems.

Then, once you have an understanding of a Â*vehicle’s communication network, you’ll learn how to Â*intercept data and perform specific hacks to track vehicles, unlock doors, glitch engines, flood communication, and more. With a focus on low-cost, open source hacking tools such as Metasploit, Wireshark, Kayak, can-utils, and Â*ChipWhisperer, The Car Hacker’s Handbook will show you how to:

Build an accurate threat model for your vehicle
Reverse engineer the CAN bus to fake engine signals
Exploit vulnerabilities in diagnostic and data-logging systems
Hack the ECU and other firmware and embedded systems
Feed exploits through infotainment and vehicle-to-vehicle communication systems
Override factory settings with performance-tuning techniques
Build physical and virtual test benches to try out exploits safely

If you’re curious about automotive security and have the urge to hack a two-ton computer, make The Car Hacker’s Handbook your first stop.
