Project description:
The locomotive manufacturer requests penetration testing of selected locomotive subsystems to verify vulnerability of locomotive.
This particular case requierdthe Cybersecurity team to prepare specific tools for hacking the hardware and reverse engineering the embedded software and SDK. During this task, a wide range of security techniques as employed, such as ONSIT, JTAG interface hacking, sniffing, spoofing, fuzzing of SPI, CAN, ETH interfaace, SDK, and embedded software reverse engineering. Custom Python scripts and simple C software were developed to expedite the work and extract the reuqired data.
The customer, one of European telecomunications vendor that provides network equiment for data, storage, voice and video services, requested a penetration tests fo their new Edge Network router (bandwidith 100Gb/s).
The Cybersecurity team, in collaboration with the client, prepared the requierd environment for tests nad, based on CS industry standards, conductedtesting of the device within the assumed period of time. The tested Edge networ router necessitates a special infrastructure and configuration for proper execution. The test demandsa broad understanding from the CS team about netowrking, operating systems, encryption, nad reverse engineering. The provided prototype was very expensive, further raising the stakes.
