Amazing innovation: You can hack any car by spending just $20

New Delhi: Spanish security researchers Javier Vazquez Vidal and Alberto Garcia Illera have created a circuit board using untraceable, off-the-shelf parts worth $20 that can give wireless access to the car's controls while it's on




This device was previously showcased at last year's Black Hat conference in Las Vegas, and now the developers plan to demonstrate the device during the Singapore version of the event in March.

Illera and fellow security researcher Javier Vazquez-Vidal have claimed that they had tested the CAN Hacking Tool (CHT) successfully on four popular makes of cars and had been able to apply the emergency brakes while the car was in motion, affect the steering, turn off the headlights, or set off the car alarm.
