We’re excited to introduce Faraday v5.12!
This update brings significant improvements to the user experience with a refreshed look and feel. More importantly, we’ve worked hard to integrate several new plugins, strengthening the link between our platform and the essential tools in your security workflow.

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.

Routers are critical to modern networks, acting as the gateway between local devices and the broader internet. Their strategic position makes them an attractive target for attackers seeking persistent access, data interception, or further exploitation of internal networks. Despite their importance, many routers suffer from outdated firmware, weak security, and a lack of patching.

Last month, Doggie took the stage at the Car Hacking Village during the H2HC conference on December 13th and 14th in São Paulo. This exciting village featured various presentations and workshops exploring the world of automotive security. The Faraday team showcased Doggie in a uniquely interactive way, allowing attendees to dive into CAN Bus exploration hands-on.

We’re thrilled to kick off the year with a series of enhancements and new features for our vulnerability management platform! One of the highlights is the release of Dark Mode, giving you the flexibility to tailor your view preferences.

To make automotive cybersecurity research more accessible and affordable, we developed Doggie, an open-source and modular CAN Bus - USB adapter. Whether you're a hobbyist, researcher, or professional, Doggie is designed to simplify working with CAN Bus networks, enabling secure exploration and development in the automotive space.
