(Ethical) Vehicle Hacking Training Level 1
With our (Ethical) Vehicle Hacking Training, you will learn in live training sessions how to attack vehicles, exploit vulnerabilities and effectively increase automotive cybersecurity through professional vehicle penetration testing practices.
The modular training, based on real practical experience in penetration testing in automotive and vehicle development, begins with insights into vehicle cybersecurity engineering, illustrates attack possibilities on automotive ECUs (including exercises!) and is ultimately designed to enable the independent execution of automotive penetration tests.
But don't be afraid of pure theory. Our (ethical) vehicle hacking training not only offers an introduction to security-relevant protocols (and much more). There is plenty of practice, exercises and sample tasks. Hacking cars is learning by doing.

Level
Level 1: Explorer
Introduction to the challenges of cybersecurity engineering in vehicle development. Creating an understanding of technical terms and information exchange. Ability to communicate about penetration testing and system-specific test requirements.
(Ethical) Vehicle Hacking Training: Our training modules at a glance
ISO/SAE 21434 Compliance
Efficient (vehicle) penetration tests are one thing, regulatory requirements such as ISO/SAE 21434 and UN R155 are another? In this module, you will learn how penetration tests are managed in accordance with regulatory requirements. You will learn how to develop test strategies that meet the requirements of automotive standards and understand the crucial role that testing should play. You will learn how to examine the proper consideration of cybersecurity in development (cybersecurity goals, cybersecurity controls, etc.).
Manipulation of hardware communication:
In this module, we go one step deeper and introduce you to the level of hardware communication interfaces such as SPI, I2C and UART. You will not only acquire extensive basic knowledge about the respective information and communication streams, but also learn about vulnerability exploitation/exploitation practices. From sniffing to injection and man-in-the-middle attacks, you will get to know a range of established attack techniques on hardware communication.
UDSonCAN and DoIP: Comparison of Communication Methods
This section shows the differences between CAN-based UDS (UDSonCAN) and Diagnostics over IP (DoIP). You will learn in which scenarios the respective methods are used and what advantages they offer.
Negative Response Codes (NRCs): identifying and correcting errors (+ example)
Learn how to identify and interpret errors using negative response codes (e.g. 'serviceNotSupported'). You will also learn about the structure of NRC messages.
UDS Message Structure and Addressing Schemes
After a brief introduction to the difference between functional and physical addressing, you will learn how UDS messages are structured, including frame formats and addressing schemes. You will learn about communication flows from server to client and vice versa.
Decoding Diagnostic Sessions and UDS Messages
The course also provides a practical insight into decoding UDS message streams in a diagnostic session, including analysing positive and negative responses.
