Controlling a Car Through OBD Injection

Abstract

Internet of vehicles(IOV) is an application of Internet of things in Intelligent Transport System, and has attracted high attention of researchers. IOV brings network connectivity to traditional vehicles, while also introduces security risks. This paper presents experimental analysis on the security of vehicles with Internet connections and propose an approach to Controlling a Car Through OBD Injection. In the experiments, we successfully penetrated several types of cars in a wireless way. We also put out a multi-level safety model of cars, which divides cars into different groups and gives analysis and explanations of each group. All of these things are done for indicating a point of view that traditional cars are not safe enough on information security. It is surely risky to put a car without the ability to resist the attack of informational ways into the Internet of vehicles.
