Backdoor Allowing Remote Control of Cars to be Presented at Amsterdam Hacker Conference
Amsterdam – 16 March 2018: A smart connected car is not much more than a computer on wheels, with systems that control one or more areas of the automobile called electronic control units (ECUs). ECUs communicate in real-time over a system called a controller area network or CAN. At the Hack In The Box Conference in Amsterdam next month, ElevenPaths Claudio Caracciolo and Sheila Ayelan Berta will be presenting a new feature of their hardware device ‘The Bicho’ which exploits the CAN bus allowing for remote take over of the target vehicle.
