Automated Reverse Engineering and Privacy Analysis of Modern Cars

Explore an in-depth IEEE conference talk on automated reverse engineering and privacy analysis of modern vehicles. Delve into the AutoCAN tool, designed to reveal the extensive data collection practices of car manufacturers by tapping into in-vehicle networks and extracting time series data. Learn how the tool establishes relationships based on physical laws to make sense of collected information, regardless of vehicle make, model, or protocols used. Discover the types of data tracked by car makers, including GPS position, occupant information, usage statistics, and more. Examine the embedded functions for remote car disabling and speeding alerts. Follow the research process, from problem identification to automated reversing techniques, including logging, segmentation, correlation, and outcomes. Gain insights into CAN communications, GSM communications, and firmware disassembly of Telematic Control Units (TCUs).
