How to hack a car

In this speedy episode of the Exploring Information Security podcast, Brandon Wilson joins me to discuss his adventures in hacking a car.

Brandon (@brandonlwilson) spoke at BSides Knoxville in 2017. I had the pleasure to be in attendance for his talk. The talk was technical and very interesting. Brandon talked about how he tried to take his old 90s car and fix it himself. The was a malfunction in the anti-theft system that kept the car from running. He decided to go deeper. Unfortunately, he was unable to fix his car. He did, however, learn a lot from the experience.

In this episode we discuss:

  • How Brandon got into car hacking?
  • What resources were available for hacking a car?
  • How long did the project take?
  • What tools are available for hacking a car?

What is hardware hacking?

In this bulb edition of the Exploring Information Security podcast, Price McDonald Director of Colafire Labs joins me to discuss hardware hacking.

Price (@pricemcdonald) recently gave a hardware hacking talk at BSides Indy. Which I had the pleasure to attend. I was fascinated by the content he provided for the talk and decided to have him on. Hardware hacking is not something we see too much, but it is out there. It's used in physical penetration tests and for other learning opportunities. Listening to Price you can tell he has a strong interest in the topic.

In this episode we discuss:

  • What is hardware hacking?
  • What hardware can be hacked?
  • Where hardware hacking applies?
  • How to get started in hardware hacking
