S800 Vehicle Network Security Testing Framework
Skill by ara.so — Security Skills collection.
Overview
S800 is a vehicle network security testing framework designed for automotive security researchers and penetration testers. It provides tools for analyzing, testing, and securing automotive networks including CAN bus, LIN, FlexRay, and other vehicle communication protocols. The framework enables security assessment of Electronic Control Units (ECUs), protocol fuzzing, traffic analysis, and vulnerability discovery in automotive systems.
Note: This is a testing framework. Only use on vehicles and systems you have explicit authorization to test. Unauthorized vehicle network testing may be illegal and dangerous.
Installation
Prerequisites
- Python 3.7 or higher
- SocketCAN kernel modules (Linux)
- CAN hardware interface (USB-to-CAN adapter, OBD-II dongle, etc.)
- Root/sudo access for network interface configuration
Basic Installation
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/zhu-zhu666/S800-Vehicle-Network-Security-Testing-Framework.git
cd S800-Vehicle-Network-Security-Testing-Framework
# Install Python dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
# Install system dependencies (Ubuntu/Debian)
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install can-utils python3-canHardware Setup
# Load SocketCAN kernel modules
sudo modprobe can
sudo modprobe can_raw
sudo modprobe vcan
# Setup virtual CAN interface (for testing without hardware)
sudo ip link add dev vcan0 type vcan
sudo ip link set up vcan0
# Setup physical CAN interface (example with slcan)
sudo slcand -o -c -s6 /dev/ttyUSB0 can0
sudo ip link set up can0
# Set CAN bitrate (common automotive: 500kbps)
sudo ip link set can0 type can bitrate 500000Core Components
1. CAN Bus Analyzer
Capture and analyze CAN bus traffic:
from s800.can_analyzer import CANAnalyzer
from s800.utils import setup_interface
# Initialize analyzer
analyzer = CANAnalyzer(interface='can0')
# Start capturing traffic
analyzer.start_capture(duration=60) # Capture for 60 seconds
# Analyze captured frames
stats = analyzer.get_statistics()
print(f"Total frames: {stats['total_frames']}")
print(f"Unique IDs: {stats['unique_ids']}")
print(f"Average data rate: {stats['avg_rate']} frames/sec")
# Export captured data
analyzer.export_pcap('capture.pcap')
analyzer.export_csv('capture.csv')2. Protocol Fuzzer
Fuzz CAN messages to discover vulnerabilities:
from s800.fuzzer import CANFuzzer
from s800.payloads import PayloadGenerator
# Initialize fuzzer
fuzzer = CANFuzzer(interface='can0')
# Define target CAN ID range
target_ids = range(0x100, 0x200)
# Generate mutation-based payloads
payload_gen = PayloadGenerator()
payloads = payload_gen.generate_mutations(
base_data=[0x00, 0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x04, 0x05, 0x06, 0x07],
mutation_rate=0.3,
count=1000
)
# Run fuzzing campaign
fuzzer.fuzz(
can_ids=target_ids,
payloads=payloads,
delay=0.01, # 10ms between frames
monitor=True, # Monitor for anomalies
callback=lambda result: print(f"Sent: {result}")
)3. ECU Identification
Identify and fingerprint ECUs on the network:
from s800.ecu_scanner import ECUScanner
from s800.diagnostics import UDSClient
# Scan for active ECUs
scanner = ECUScanner(interface='can0')
ecus = scanner.scan_range(0x700, 0x7FF)
print(f"Found {len(ecus)} ECUs:")
for ecu in ecus:
print(f" ID: 0x{ecu['id']:03X}, Type: {ecu['type']}")
# Query ECU information via UDS (ISO 14229)
uds = UDSClient(interface='can0', ecu_id=0x7E0)
# Read DID (Data Identifier)
vin = uds.read_data_by_id(0xF190) # VIN
print(f"VIN: {vin.decode()}")
# Read diagnostic trouble codes
dtcs = uds.read_dtc()
print(f"Diagnostic Trouble Codes: {dtcs}")4. Replay Attack
Record and replay CAN traffic:
from s800.replay import CANReplay
import time
# Record session
recorder = CANReplay(interface='can0')
print("Recording traffic... Press Ctrl+C to stop")
try:
recorder.start_recording()
time.sleep(30) # Record for 30 seconds
except KeyboardInterrupt:
pass
recorder.stop_recording()
recorder.save_session('door_unlock_sequence.s800')
# Replay recorded session
replayer = CANReplay(interface='can0')
replayer.load_session('door_unlock_sequence.s800')
# Replay with original timing
replayer.replay(preserve_timing=True)
# Replay at faster speed
replayer.replay(speed_multiplier=2.0)
# Replay single frame repeatedly
replayer.replay_frame(index=15, count=100, interval=0.05)5. Man-in-the-Middle
Intercept and modify CAN traffic:
from s800.mitm import CANBridge
from s800.filters import MessageFilter
# Create bridge between two CAN interfaces
bridge = CANBridge(interface_a='can0', interface_b='can1')
# Define filtering rules
def modify_speed(msg):
"""Modify speed data (example: reduce displayed speed)"""
if msg.arbitration_id == 0x320: # Speed message ID
# Modify byte 3-4 (speed value)
speed = int.from_bytes(msg.data[2:4], byteorder='big')
new_speed = int(speed * 0.8) # Reduce by 20%
msg.data[2:4] = new_speed.to_bytes(2, byteorder='big')
return msg
# Add filter
bridge.add_filter(modify_speed)
# Block specific messages
bridge.block_id(0x400) # Block messages with ID 0x400
# Start bridging
bridge.start()Configuration
