CAN Injection Hacking: Unraveling the Veins of Automotive Vulnerabilities
The presentation will include an in-depth analysis of some recently reported and currently exploited CAN injection attacks. The Controller Area Network (CAN) is a communication protocol used in cars for data exchange between electronic control units (ECUs). The CAN bus enables communication between various components of the car, such as the engine and driver assistance systems. The purpose of the presentation is to illustrate the method that malicious attackers can use in the field of computer science to inject foreign, typically malicious data into a system, or modify original data. In the automotive industry, CAN injection hacking means that someone can manipulate the data flowing through the car’s CAN bus, which can lead to significant security issues, such as the loss of vehicle control or other dangerous situations. The presentation will include an in-depth analysis of some recently reported and currently exploited CAN injection attacks.
