Pen Test Partners (PTP) transformed a 2016 Renault Clio into a realistic racing simulator controller to teach automotive cybersecurity. By decoding Controller Area Network (CAN) data, they mapped car controls to the open-source game SuperTuxKart. This approach provides a hands-on learning experience about collecting and manipulating CAN data essential for automotive security. The process involved isolating signals for braking, steering, and acceleration using documentation and decoding tools, showcasing innovative methods to engage aspiring security professionals effectively.
"Once you get the electrical state right and know the bus speed, a standard CAN packet consists of an 11-bit arbitration ID, 8 octets of data..."
"It was by isolating those CAN data signals sent to initialize the Clio's brakes, steering, and acceleration that the PTP experts were able to map those controls to SuperTuxKart."
