Description:

Modern cars are more computerized than ever. Infotainment and navigation systems, WiFi, automatic software updates, and other innovations aim to make driving more convenient. But vehicle technologies haven't kept pace with today's more hostile security environment, leaving millions vulnerable to attack.

Join Craig Smith, author of The Car Hacker's Handbook, in a hands-on webcast that will give you a deeper understanding of the computer systems and embedded software in modern vehicles. Craig provides detailed explanations of communications over the CAN bus and between devices and systems, examines vulnerabilities, and concludes with a short Q&A. If time permits, Craig will give a quick demo of UDSim and ISO-TP.

In this webcast, you will learn:

  • CAN packet layouts
  • Linux CAN utilities
  • CAN sniffing techniques
  • How to use ICSim to reverse door locks, turn signals, and the speedometer
