Smart Car Forensics and Vehicle Weaponization

Given a relatively new car with an infotainment system completely decoupled from the car’s backbone (ignition, lights), the speakers discovered a plethora of sensitive personal information being stored completely in the clear during our smart car forensic investigation. A proof-of-concept vehicle weaponization attack will be shown during this talk. By abusing various debug tools present on the car’s infotainment system, the speakers will demonstrate how a malicious attacker would be able to track the position of the car in real time, or even do wardriving and network exploitation from the on-board computer of the car.
