How They Steal Your Car with CAN Injection

In this video, we explore the alarming rise of car thefts using a technique called Control Area Network (CAN) injection. CAN is the communication protocol used by modern vehicles to transmit data between different electronic systems such as the engine, transmission, brakes, and dashboard.

Unfortunately, criminals have figured out how to exploit vulnerabilities in the CAN system, allowing them to inject malicious messages into the network and take control of a vehicle. This technique has become increasingly popular recently and is now a major concern for car manufacturers and law enforcement agencies.

We will look into car theft prevention and the steps you can take to protect your vehicle from CAN injection and other attacks.
