Abstract
In this workshop we will cover the basics of reverse engineering automotive firmware. An ECU firmware can consist of millions of lines of code which would take a long time to fully reverse engineer. Tips and tricks will be taught to quickly identify parts of the firmware that are of interest.
Workshop Outline
The following subjects will be covered during the workshop:
- Common processor architectures used in Automotive
- Diagnostic protocols used for reflashing ECUs
- Obtaining firmware files
- Typical firmware layout
- Loading firmware into Ghidra
- Identify common patterns, such as diagnostic handlers, CAN parsing, etc
What to bring:
- A laptop with the latest version of Ghidra installed
- Experience with reverse engineering recommended for the hands-on part of the workshop
