Offensive Automotive Cybersecurity
An engineering handbook for exploiting modern automotive platforms
Created by Dr. Ahmad MK Nasser, Dr. Dennis Kengo Oka
Gain hands-on experience in offensive automotive cybersecurity by exploring how real-world vehicle vulnerabilities are discovered and exploited. Learn to think like an attacker so you can build stronger defenses for modern, software-defined vehicles. Develop practical skills to identify, analyze, and mitigate threats across the connected vehicle ecosystem.
