Come be part of the faculty's Capture The Flag - CTF group!!
The meeting will take place on Monday, January 5th at 6:30 PM, at Taub 9.
What's on the meeting?
Guest lecture by Uri Bear - From a hacker's perspective on smart and connected vehicles, revealing how automotive systems are hacked and how they can be protected.
Connected cars are the future, it just makes sense, doesn't it? But as cars connect, there is the increased potential for security risks.
Automation, AI, Machine learning and plain old style ECU's contain an ever increasing computation load, an incredibly expanding code base, old and new sensors and algorithms - How do hackers approach all of these?
A person skilled in reverse engineering and armed with certain tools may be able to eavesdrop on automotive control data. Even more, an advanced hacker could interfere, interact, and modify both the ECU itself and the data flowing across its wires.
The cybersecurity landscape is rapidly evolving and the ecosystems are continuously innovating to advance security for devices of all types. The automotive industry is being driven towards a quest for a higher level of security, due to the current plethora of applications, media files, and user inputs available in its systems.
In this presentation, I will present:
• An introduction to automotive computing environment from a hacker's point of view.
• Why is secure hardware a must-have?
• Case study: Hacking a car, near or far.
• Hacking hardware.
• Hacking software.
Many solutions exist, many are offered, hack yourself to know which are good enough for you.
This presentation material was presented at SAE's autonomous vehicle conference in Jan/19 in Israel. None of this material was published.
