New way to steal cars

[r0tor]

The real complicating factors are...

- Canbus addressing is not published or standard.  So someone has to do some legwork to figure that out for every car model.

- Newer cars generally have multiple can buses.  So the can bus connecting the headlights might be on the same body control bus as maybe the door locks, but probably not on the engine control bus to start the car.  The TCU is connected to the engine control network, but probably the door locks... Probably as the networks are firewalled from each other, but interlocks and other logic connecting the networks exist that can have an effect.


Playing with the can bus is actually pretty interesting.  Linux has built in libraries to scan the bus, visually display data, and record/write information.

Didn't they do this in Gone in 60 Seconds?
