Revving Up with Java: A Beginner's Journey into Automotive Hacking
Modern vehicles are no longer just mechanical machines, they are complex networks of hardware and software. As cars become more connected, they also become more vulnerable to cyber threats.
This beginner-friendly talk introduces Java developers to the exciting world of automotive hacking and security. We will start with the basics of how vehicle networks work and why they matter for security. Using Java, we will demonstrate practical examples of interacting with the CAN bus to identify potential vulnerabilities.
You will see live demos and code snippets showing how Java tools can be used to send, receive, and analyze messages on automotive networks. Along the way, we will discuss common security flaws and what developers can do to build more secure systems for the connected cars of tomorrow.
If you are a Java developer curious about stepping into automotive security, this session will give you a solid foundation, hands-on examples, and inspiration to start hacking and securing vehicles with Java.
Python on Wheels: Hacking Automotive Systems
As modern vehicles evolve into complex networks of software and hardware, they become increasingly susceptible to cyber threats. This presentation delves into how Python can be utilized to both identify vulnerabilities and enhance the security of automotive systems. We will explore real-world scenarios where Python tools and techniques are applied to penetrate vehicle networks, analyze security flaws, and develop robust defenses against potential attacks.
Hands-on Hacking Automotive Systems
As modern vehicles evolve into complex networks of software and hardware, they become increasingly susceptible to cyber threats. In this hands-on workshop, we will explore how vulnerabilities in automotive systems can be identified, analyzed, and demonstrated. Participants will dive into real-world scenarios using practical tools and techniques to penetrate vehicle networks, uncover security flaws, and experiment with live attacks. This workshop bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical skills, empowering attendees to better understand the increasingly connected automotive landscape.
The session will begin with an introduction to automotive security concepts and the architecture of modern vehicle networks. Participants will then learn how to interact directly with the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus, the central communication system in most vehicles. Through guided, hands-on exercises, they will reverse engineer messages to the instrument cluster and send spoofed signals to manipulate displayed information.
Format: Highly interactive, featuring live demonstrations, step-by-step technical exercises, and collaborative discussions.
Key takeaways:
- Understand the fundamentals of modern automotive security and vehicle network architecture
- Gain practical skills in interacting with and analyzing CAN bus traffic
- Learn to reverse engineer communication to critical vehicle components
- Experiment with sending spoofed messages in a safe, controlled environment
