Automotive Penetration Testing

We go after your ECUs, gateways, telematics and V2X stacks the way a real adversary would, in our own lab, and hand back exploitable findings, not a checkbox report.

Penetration testing for vehicles and components

UN R155, AIS-189 and ISO/SAE 21434 require evidence that the cybersecurity controls implemented in a vehicle or component are effective. A penetration test provides that evidence through documented attempts by qualified engineers to compromise the product over its external and internal interfaces.

The test scope is derived from the item definition and TARA, so that threat scenario rated as requiring treatment is tested against the control intended to address it. Findings are reported with severity, the affected interface, the steps to reproduce and the remediation to be verified, and retesting confirms closure.

What We Penetration-Test

Every engagement runs through pentest.core for automated execution, output capture, pass/fail analysis and AI-assisted reporting.

ECUs & Gateways

CAN/CAN-FD, UDS diagnostics, secure boot, debug interfaces.

Telematics & Connectivity

Cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, backend APIs.

V2X

Message authentication, certificate handling, replay resistance.

Infotainment

App sandboxing, OS hardening, data exposure.

OTA Update Systems

Package integrity, rollback protection, authentication.

Compliance-mapped evidence

Evidence mapped to ISO/SAE 21434 and UN R155/R156.

Common Questions

A severity-rated report with reproduction steps, remediation guidance, and evidence mapped to UN R155/R156 and ISO/SAE 21434.
Mostly in our own lab for hardware and embedded targets. For connected and backend components, we also support remote execution.
Penetration testing is goal-driven exploitation by skilled testers, while fuzzing is automated input mutation that hunts for crashes. The two work well together, and we often run both.
Yes. The reports are structured as compliance evidence, not just a flat technical list.
