The article discusses the development of an advanced testing platform designed for automotive electronic control units (ECUs). It emphasizes the importance of sourcing ECUs, which can vary based on user roles, including engineers, pentesters, and researchers. It details the types of ECUs obtained from salvage yards and OEMs, necessary for various testing needs. The platform also highlights the protocol for configuring networks and the application of secure development lifecycle methodologies, penetration testing, and research-centric approaches, providing a holistic view of automotive security testing.
Testing a single ECU can be sufficient if the tests are focused on purely CAN physical layer specifics or other single-ECU session-based protocols, such as Unified Diagnostic Services (UDS)...
For our platform, we source ECUs across three different OEMs from a local salvage yard and from a real vehicle: five powertrain ECUs, a gateway ECU, a power steering ECU, and two instrument panel clusters (IPCs)...
Depending on the user, obtaining ECUs for the testing platform will require different approaches. Where an engineer and pentester would get hardware from their own supply chain...
Configurable network. Most users will often work on projects that require ECUs with different...
