Automotive Penetration Testing

We go after your ECUs, gateways, telematics and V2X stacks the way a real adversary would, in our own lab, and hand back exploitable findings, not a checkbox report.

Compliance Needs Evidence Attackers Can't Argue With

UN R155/R156 and ISO/SAE 21434 expect you to show that your cybersecurity controls actually hold up. A penetration test gives you that proof: real attempts to defeat your protections, documented as evidence for type approval.

A generic scan finds the issues everyone already knows about. A skilled pen test finds the chained, product-specific weaknesses that actually matter, and finds them before they ship.

What We Penetration-Test

Every engagement runs through pentest.core for automated execution, output capture, pass/fail analysis and AI-assisted reporting.

ECUs & Gateways

CAN/CAN-FD, UDS diagnostics, secure boot, debug interfaces.

Telematics & Connectivity

Cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, backend APIs.

V2X

Message authentication, certificate handling, replay resistance.

Infotainment

App sandboxing, OS hardening, data exposure.

OTA Update Systems

Package integrity, rollback protection, authentication.

What You Get

Full pen-test report

Severity ratings, reproduction steps, and a remediation roadmap.

Compliance-mapped evidence

Evidence mapped to ISO/SAE 21434 and UN R155/R156.

Common Questions

A severity-rated report with reproduction steps, remediation guidance, and evidence mapped to UN R155/R156 and ISO/SAE 21434.
Mostly in our own lab for hardware and embedded targets. For connected and backend components, we also support remote execution.
Penetration testing is goal-driven exploitation by skilled testers, while fuzzing is automated input mutation that hunts for crashes. The two work well together, and we often run both.
Yes. The reports are structured as compliance evidence, not just a flat technical list.

Book a Penetration Test

Tell us your target, whether it's an ECU, a telematics unit, or a full vehicle platform, and we'll scope a test that gives you evidence you can both act on and certify against.
