Category: DEFCON 23 (2015)

A new section added this year was the Car Hacking Village.  There were talks, live demos, hands on hacking and most of all, 2 cars available to test with or on.

I saw people really digging into what looked like a Chrysler/Dodge as well as one car that peaked my interest. the logos were masked over but it clearly looked like a Toyota 4 Runner. The first vehicle had door panels off, people hooking up various devices and quite a few interested people in this technology.  This is awesome!  As we read recently all the news about remote hacking of vehicles, there it was in the flesh (or metal) to play with.  Did I get a chance to play?  There were a few lines as well as a lot of people gathered around to listen and also to play.  i think it best said that it was something I am interested in, but to me it is a slippery slope that I don;t want to hack my car and break the warranty.
