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.
