Hacking Connected Cars: Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures

I was so impressed with the format and layout of this book. You don’t have to be a car expert to understand and appreciate the lessons shared, nor do you need to be an experienced hacker or security professional. In fact, I would recommend this book for anyone who is looking to get a start in penetration testing, as it teaches the right lessons and builds proper habits for approaching an engagement. Likewise, the section on risk assessments was one of the most clearly laid out approaches to practical risk assessments that I have come across. I expect I will be referring back to this book on many future occasions.

I was searching for a book in the Connected Vehicle Cyber Security area and found this great resource written by Alissa Knight.   I wanted to understand today's issues as well as what security professionals and owners may face in the future.   Both areas are addressed in the book. What I really valued in the book was coverage of tools that can be used to analyze and test the connected vehicle interfaces.   Mobile (Cellular Data) and WiFi are two examples.  Detailed information on how to build your own test setups for both of these wireless interfaces are covered in this book. Finally, the technology coverage was complemented by documenting how to use a structured approach.   The book is laid out following the same problem understanding (what are you testing, what is actually in the target), testing techniques, and through report creation. Great resource!

As someone with experience as a Penetration tester, I have always wondered about the operations of hacking a car. Look no further, this book sets you up with a solid foundation and is wonderfully written.

Great book to get your hands wet, nice delivery, Alissa did a great job guiding you and she is very knowledgeable, keep the great job Alyssa from NegroRotary2 on twitter, I think you need to start working on a second book!

I work as an automotive cyber security engineer for a major OEM defending connected vehicles. I recommend "Hacking Connected Cars" to automotive Red/Blue team members and to those looking to get into the industry. This book highlights the main steps to performing a pen test for connected ECUs. Connected Vehicles are just now entering the spotlight, and this book will become even more relevant over the next few years. Some of the topics I found interesting and am anxious to try out are: 1) Creating a Rogue BTS (Base Transceiver Station) (p. 108) for intercepting cell traffic to the vehicle (***within the legal limits specified on p.112***) 2) Performing an Evil Twin Attack on the In-Vehicle Wifi Network (p.91) 3) Using BtleJuice to MITM the Vehicle Bluetooth interface (p.102)Also very relevant to me were the sections on threat modeling, threat analysis, and how to communicate risk appropriately to an OEM. I do threat modeling regularly at my job and this book expanded my knowledge base on it.All in all, this was an excellent book that disseminates Alissa Knight's 10+ years of expertise in pen testing connected vehicles. I will definitely recommend it to the team that I work with.

If you are in tech and want to understand connected cars, the introduction here is REQUIRED READING. It is an amazing overview and easy to understand. No one understands hacking and security like Alissa Knight. The chapters after the intro are well laid out and well written. However, they are deeper than my technical understanding can handle. If you are a techie, you will likely love it. Lots of clear How To Do It tips. Plus there are web downloads for checklists and how to's. I have already dog-eared the intro as I refer back to it frequently.

Book is excellent and has examples. You can read and learn how to do this yourself. It is not an entry level IT security book.

This is very well written and and immensely informative!The level of detail and research is very useful for those interested in the security field.i highly recommend this author as an source for information and subject matter expect!!!!!

A super interesting book. Despite it's a very complexe subject, the author makes sound so easy. I had the chance to watch Alissa's interview first and right away I got the book. it is a wealth of information.

Amazing book, few books achieve the balance between theory and practical examples, this one does it very well !!! It has a lot of technical and practical content without being complicated.

The book have two distinctive parts one for Risk assessment and another for Penetration test.

An essential book for those who work in this area and want to be always updated and ready for new and fascinating challenges.Written very well, it flows quickly despite being a concentrate of technicalities for professionals. Brilliant and comprehensive approach to matter.Best reading 2020 !!

A Good Book for understanding the basics of Security and Security Architecture of Cars.Great to understand the basics of the Security. Setting up your own security lab for performing and learning security.I would say "A must have for Automotive Engineers and Security Learners "
