The Car Hacker’s Handbook A Guide for the Penetration Tester by Craig Smith

Modern cars are more computerized than ever. Infotainment and navigation systems, Wi-Fi, automatic software updates, and other inno-vations aim to make driving more convenient. But vehicle technologies haven’t kept pace with today’s more hostile security environ-ment, leaving millions vulnerable to attack.The Car Hacker’s Handbook will give you a deeper understanding of the computer sys-tems and embedded software in modern vehicles. It begins by examining vulner-abilities and providing detailed explanations of communications over the CAN bus and between devices and systems. Then, once you have an understanding of a vehicle’s communication network, you’ll learn how to 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 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
