Tesla in 'Ethernet port carries data' SCANDAL
A Tesla enthusiast has sparked a thousand variations on headlines saying “Tesla hacked” by working out that in-car network traffic is visible on a port designed for service access to the network.
The thread on the Tesla Motors Club forum begins in March, and reveals various traffic types that are visible on the network segment that connects the centre console (192.168.0.100), the navigation screen (192.168.0.101) and a gateway device (192.168.0.102).
Along the way, naturally enough, the devices identify the services they offer – things like ssh, telnet, http, nfs, x11 and so on. The system is revealed to be running a version of Ubuntu and an oldish version of the mini-httpd Web server.
