Automobile Hacking and Security v2.0

Explore Automotive Cybersecurity and Embedded System Defense

Have you ever wondered about the security of modern vehicles and how vulnerabilities can be identified ethically and responsibly?

Welcome to Automobile Hacking and Security v2.0, the advanced course in automotive cybersecurity. Building on foundational knowledge from the first course, we explore automobile security principles, CAN protocols, OBD2 systems, and ECU analysis in a fully controlled lab environment.

You will start by revising core concepts and implementing a car simulator with advanced difficulty levels to safely explore security tools like CaringCaribou and CANAnalyzer. Learn how to identify IDS in CAN networks, understand UDS protocols, and apply fuzzing techniques in simulated lab settings.

The course also covers On-Board Diagnostic II (OBD2) protocols, creating connectors, and safely communicating with vehicle simulators. Advanced exercises include building a version 2.0 device and an ECU model, where students can test protocols, analyze CAN frames, and explore vulnerabilities ethically and legally.

This course is designed for cybersecurity researchers, ethical hackers, and passionate learners who want to explore automotive security in a safe, educational, and hands-on way.

Disclaimer: All demonstrations are conducted in controlled lab environments or with simulated vehicle systems. Unauthorized interaction with live vehicles is strictly prohibited. This course is intended strictly for educational purposes.
