I bought this book, and he graciously provides it online.
It's put together well. I just haven't read it throughly, buy it's a keeper.
I just opened the book, and happened to see a motherboard. It was a VW board, and I saw this,
"In their paper, the researchers analyzed the algorithm and reported on the vulnerabilities they found, though the actual exploit was apparently not trivial and there were much easier ways to steal a car with a Megamos system. Nevertheless, the research was placed under a gag order, and the findings weren’t made public. Unfortunately, the problem with Megamos still exists, and it’s still insecure—the gag order simply prevents vehicle owners from determining their risk because the research isn’t publicly available. This is a prime example of how the auto industry should not respond to security research."
1. Ironic the board is made by VW.
2. We need to see all that information.
3. This was just a paper of a few security bugs.
4. My point is I don't want to be tied to a Dealership for the life of "my" vechicle when it gets sick.. I don't want to pay $220/hr to Reflash "my" vechicle.
5. And their will be those that get this post here, but I know the general public just cares about looks, and cup holders. As a kid, I knew most people didn't care about double overhead cams, etc.
6. A vechicle is a huge purchase for most of us. We shouldn't be locked out of anything we own. Can trust wireless attacker with the information; don't use wireless technology in your Vechicle.
7. I really wish Toyota who start manufacturing late 70-80's, simple trucks, and cars again. We want simplicity. Or, many of us want Simplicity.
8. Rant over. Key in off position, and and in pocket. Can't loose it--a replacement key is $350. I just don't get it. But then again I'm very unhappy lately. I sometimes think I need to attach the Jumper cables to by temples, and get a little shock. Amperage is not enough, or too high. Don't want to know.
- NegativeLatency 9y agoThe chicken tax (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_tax https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_tax) is part of why there are no small simple trucks in the US. I recently got back from a trip to Mexico, and I saw all kinds of new small simple trucks. Nissan's small truck (not sure of the name) and the Toyota Hilux seemed to be the most popular. There were all different kinds of bed attachments people were using.
