This post will explore a practical use case to demonstrate Doggie’s power in automotive security research. Imagine you need to unlock a vehicle by sending the correct sequence of CAN messages. With Doggie and tools like Python-can, can-utils, or custom scripts, you can sniff unlocking messages, replay them, and even experiment with manipulating the system for security analysis.

In the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity, staying ahead of potential threats requires robust tools and accurate frameworks for assessing risk. The Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) has long been a cornerstone for evaluating vulnerabilities, providing a standardized method to gauge their severity. With the release of version 4.0, CVSS introduces significant updates aimed at improving accuracy and decision-making for security teams.

Ekoparty 2024 was more than just a cybersecurity conference—it became a hub for knowledge sharing, community building, and celebrating the latest discoveries and innovations. Our team played a prominent role across various sessions, showcasing not only their technical expertise but also their commitment to the community.

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, a time when we focus on ways to enhance security in our daily lives, both personally and, most importantly, as a company. While some measures may seem basic, it’s important to remember that many vulnerabilities stem from unpatched programs, and a large number of attacks originate from an employee clicking the wrong link.

Within our team, we prefer to focus on specific tasks depending on the type of host and the associated vulnerabilities. Exploiting a vulnerability on a third-party server with no connection to a client's internal network is not the same as attacking a cloud-hosted server that could potentially lead to a more interesting compromise, right? Another common example is when performing an internal pentest; our client details the most critical ranges to observe and analyze.

Pentesters use a comprehensive and complete toolkit to expose different platforms and evaluate the security of an IT infrastructure. They safely try to exploit vulnerabilities and are experts at reporting failures, data leakage, or other vulnerabilities.
In this post, we present these tools and the several ways they can be applied.
