Seems like the next logical conclusion is to sell dual-use devices with a "just add software" component provided by a "Russian" company.

- wil421 2y agoThere’s exactly one company who can crack BMW ECUs. You have to send it to them and they have a Russian method to do it. Cough, cough, somebody hacked Bosch or BMW and grabbed the firmware keys. They moved to Finland recently for obvious reasons. I found quite a few devices for cars like that, just install this Russian or Chinese software to enable the real thing.
- telgareith 2y agoHaha. If they have to have their hands on it, it's far more likely they're swapping a chip or if fancy- using a die channel attack.
- wil421 2y agoThe forums say it's for secrecy but I think a die channel attack might make more sense. >Femto can do a partial unlock on original DME or a Full Unlock on a Cloned DME. I guess they might be doing some soldering for the cloned ECU/DME. You have to pony up some extra cash for a ECU/DME to clone.
- telgareith 2y agoSorry- stupid auto-(in)correct... Side channel attack, not die channel.
- neuralRiot 2y agoDepends on the type of ECU, if you have the tool to dump the firmware (via CAN or BDM/ JTAG) you send the file and they modify it, you just flash it back.
