Today, cars are more electronized than ever before. The “This Car Runs on Code” report published in the IEEE Spectrum journal indicated: As of 2009, a typical car already contains 100+ processors, 50+ electronic control units, 5000+ meters of cabling and 100 millions of lines of code. That means, along with the more and more close integration between computer systems and vehicles, the security audit is also becoming increasingly important and complicated.

The Car Hacker’s Handbook derives from a training textbook on car hacking published by OpenGarages community, which covers various aspects of details about automobile hacking technology. This includes the related theories and some concrete application examples about how to use specific tools to launch car hacking attacks, also lists the the related hardware and software tools used for the implementation of auto hacking techniques. It starts from the overview of vehicle safety related strategies, and then further explains how to check whether a car is safe enough, and how to find out the vulnerabilities exist in car’s complex hardware system.

The Car Hacker’s Handbook is originally written for beginners who planned to learn about car hacking skills from scratch, yet also suitable for veterans who have certain understanding to the auto hacking techniques. In brief, after finishing this book, it will greatly deepen your understanding to how the computer system works on a car, where they are most vulnerable, how to utilize the vulnerabilities found, and more.
