Course Overview  

What You'll Learn

Module 1 :
Vehicle Network and Attacks

Introduction to Vehicle Architecture

Detailed exploration of modern vehicle architectures, including the integration of various electronic control units (ECUs), sensors, actuators, and communication buses.

Electronic Control Units (ECUs)

Explanation of the function and types of ECUs found in vehicles, such as Engine Control Module (ECM), Transmission Control Module (TCM), Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) Module, etc.

Electronic Control Units (ECUs)

In-depth analysis of common vehicle communication protocols like CAN (Controller Area Network), LIN (Local Interconnect Network), FlexRay, Ethernet, etc., highlighting their strengths, weaknesses, and typical applications within the vehicle architecture.

Module 2 :
Understanding and Briefing CANBUS Protocol
 

CANBUS Protocol Overview

Detailed explanation of the CAN protocol layers (physical, data link, and application layers) and how messages are structured using identifiers (Arbitration IDs) and data frames.

Reverse Engineering of CANBUS

Techniques for identifying and reverse engineering specific vehicle events by analyzing CAN messages, including the process of deciphering Arbitration IDs and message payloads.

Attacks on Instrument Cluster

Exploration of potential vulnerabilities in instrument clusters (dashboard displays), demonstrating methods for exploiting these vulnerabilities via CAN messages to manipulate display information or inject malicious commands.

Replay Attacks

Explanation and practical demonstration of replay attacks on CAN networks, illustrating how captured CAN messages can be re-transmitted to replicate authorized actions or inject unauthorized commands into the vehicle’s network.

Sending Forged CANBUS Messages

Techniques for crafting and sending manipulated or forged CAN messages, including altering message payloads, spoofing source addresses, and bypassing message authentication mechanisms (if present).

DoS Attack on CANBUS Network

Methods for launching Denial of Service (DoS) attacks on CAN networks, such as flooding the bus with high volumes of traffic, sending invalid messages to disrupt normal communication, or exploiting specific protocol weaknesses.

CANBUS Fuzzing

Introduction to fuzz testing techniques applied to the CAN protocol, including generating malformed or unexpected CAN messages to identify potential vulnerabilities or trigger unintended behaviors in vehicle ECUs

Module 3 :
Introduction to Seed and Key Bypass

Seed and Key Mechanism

Overview of security mechanisms used in vehicle ECUs to control access to critical functions or sensitive information, with focus on understanding how seed and key algorithms work, and methods for bypassing these protections

Module 4 :
Briefing of UDS (Unified Diagnostic Services)

UDS Protocol

Detailed explanation of the Unified Diagnostic Services (UDS) protocol, emphasizing its role in diagnostic and maintenance tasks for modern vehicles, including session management, diagnostic services, and communication security
