#1about 2 minutes

Recalling a famous remote car hack from 2015

A historical remote car hack demonstrates how attackers gained control over vehicle functions by pivoting from the infotainment system.

#2about 4 minutes

Shifting from distributed ECUs to centralized computers

The automotive industry is moving from a complex network of individual electronic control units (ECUs) to centralized high-performance computers (HPCs) to simplify updates and maintenance.

#3about 6 minutes

Running containers with access to vehicle electronics

A live demonstration shows how a containerized application can directly access and manipulate a car's internal network to control components like the instrument cluster.

#4about 5 minutes

Using eBPF to observe and secure container networking

eBPF programs can be attached to the Linux kernel to observe and filter a container's network traffic at a low level without requiring a sidecar.

#5about 2 minutes

Securing hardware update channels with eBPF policies

eBPF can trace and block unauthorized write operations to hardware interfaces like the SPI bus, preventing malicious firmware flashing from a compromised container.

#6about 2 minutes

Understanding the offensive potential of eBPF rootkits

eBPF is a dual-use technology that can also be used to create stealthy, in-memory rootkits capable of modifying network packets on the fly.
