Automotive Security.
We attack a vehicle the way a real adversary would, targeting the infotainment, wireless links, control units and interconnecting networks.
The attack surface & hardware challenge
Offensive reverse-engineering down to the physical silicon, flash extraction, and protocol buses to uncover deep architectural flaws.
The Automotive Security Challenge
Modern vehicles have evolved into sophisticated computer networks on wheels, featuring over 100 million lines of code and 70+ electronic control units. As vehicles become increasingly connected through IoT, telematics, and autonomous driving features, the attack surface expands exponentially. At Dellon, we understand that automotive security extends beyond individual components to secure the entire vehicular ecosystem.
What the assessment covers
Exhaustive penetration testing vectors executed across hardware, firmware, interface buses, and logic layers.
ECU Security Testing
Comprehensive testing of electronic control units for vulnerabilities, security weaknesses, and potential attack vectors. We analyze CAN bus protocols, diagnostic interfaces, and firmware security to ensure complete vehicle protection.
Communication Systems
Analysis of vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication protocols including CAN, LIN, FlexRay, and Ethernet. We identify interception risks, message injection vulnerabilities, and unauthorized access points in vehicle networks.
Connected Car Security
Security assessment of infotainment systems, telematics, GPS tracking, and connected features. We test Bluetooth/Wi-Fi connectivity, mobile app integration, and over-the-air update mechanisms to prevent unauthorized vehicle access.
Firmware Analysis
Deep analysis of vehicle firmware for backdoors, malicious code, and security vulnerabilities. Our reverse engineering expertise helps identify hidden threats in embedded systems and bootloader security mechanisms.
How we run the engagement
Structured four-phase offensive methodology engineered to minimize engineering friction and deliver clear, actionable findings.
Reconnaissance & Threat Modeling
Comprehensive information gathering about vehicle architecture, attack surfaces, and potential threat vectors. We analyze vehicle documentation, identify communication protocols, and map out security boundaries.
Vulnerability Analysis
Systematic testing for security weaknesses in vehicle systems including static analysis, dynamic testing, and manual penetration testing of ECUs and communication networks.
Exploitation & Validation
Controlled exploitation to validate identified vulnerabilities and demonstrate real-world attack scenarios. We test both physical and remote attack vectors.
Reporting & Remediation
Detailed findings report with actionable remediation recommendations, risk assessment, and priority-based security improvements for immediate implementation.
