Modern cars are more computerized than ever. Infotainment and navigation systems, Wi-Fi, automatic software updates, and other innovations aim to make driving more ¬convenient. But vehicle technologies haven't kept pace with today's more hostile security environment, leaving ¬millions vulnerable to attack.
The Car Hacker's Handbook will give you a deeper understanding of the computer systems and embedded software in modern ¬vehicles. It begins by examining vulnerabilities and providing detailed explanations of communications over the CAN bus and ¬between devices and systems.

Then, once you have an understanding of a ¬vehicle's communication network, you'll learn how to -intercept data and perform specific hacks to track vehicles, unlock doors, glitch engines, flood communication, and more. With a focus on low-cost, open source hacking tools such as Metasploit, Wireshark, Kayak, can-utils, and ¬ChipWhisperer, The Car Hacker's Handbook will show you how to:
• Build an accurate threat model for your vehicle
• Reverse engineer the CAN bus to fake engine signals
• Exploit vulnerabilities in diagnostic and data-logging systems
• Hack the ECU and other firmware and embedded systems
• Feed exploits through infotainment and vehicle-to-vehicle communication systems
• Override factory settings with performance-tuning techniques
• Build physical and virtual test benches to try out exploits safely
If you're curious about automotive security and have the urge to hack a two-ton computer, make The Car Hacker's Handbook your first stop.
