A friendly car security exploration tool
We are lacking a security testing tool for automotive. A zero-knowledge tool that can be dropped onto any automotive network and collect information regarding what services exist and what vulnerabilities exist. This is a start.
This work was done as part of the HeavenS research project.
CaringCaribou is module based with a master command (cc.py) that runs the show. The reason for this is to enable an easy drop-in architecture for new modules.
- discovery - ArbID Discovery. Tries to connect (02 10 01) to all possible ArbId (0x000-0x7FF) and collect valid responses (xx 7F or xx 50)
- services - Service Discovery. Brute force all Service Id's (SID) and report any responses (anything that is not xx F7 11)
- subfunc - Sub-function Discovery. Brute force engine that takes SID and an index indicating which positions to brute force as input.
- dtc - Diagnostic Trouble Codes. Fetches DTCs. Can clear DTCs and MIL (Engine Light) as well.
Detailed information on the dcm-module.
- discovery - ArbId Discovery. Tries to connect (FF) to all possible ArbId (0x000-0x7FF) and collect all valid responses (FF or FE)
- info - XCP Get Basic Information. Connects and gets information about XCP abilities in the target environment
- dump - XCP Upload. Used to dump ECU memory (SRAM, flash and bootloader) to file
Detailed information on the xcp-module.
- ArbId listener - register all ArbIds heard on the CAN bus
Detailed information on the listener-module.
- Raw message transmission module, used to drive manual test cases
Detailed information on the send-module.
- Dump incoming traffic to stdout or file.
Detailed information on the dump-module.
This is the daddy of all shared module functionality. Imported by all modules. Provides abstraction for access to the CAN bus, CAN bruteforce engines etc.
Some sort of interface towards an automotive bus that is compatible with socketCAN (http://elinux.org/CAN_Bus#CAN_Support_in_Linux).
- python2.7
- python-can
- a pretty modern linux kernel
Instructions available here
The best way to understand how to use Caring Caribou is by envoking cc.py's help menu:
python cc.py -h
Detailed information on the usage.
Create a python file with a module_main(args) function. Put it in the modules folder. CaringCaribou (cc.py) will automagically recognize it as a module and list it in the output of ./cc.py -h
We used an open source implementation of Autosar from ArcCore available here: http://www.arccore.com/hg FIXME We used a devboard from ArcCore, called Arctic EVK-M3 - an STM32F107 based device
