Spanish researchers reveal $20 device capable of disabling critical car functions

A group of Spanish security researchers have revealed a $20 device that can cause vital functions of a car to be disabled if physically connected to a car.
While many car hacking techniques have been demonstrated, it seems that this device has the potential to be particularly dangerous and is especially cheap to build.

If physically connected to a vehicle, the device can interfere with a car’s onboard Controller Area Network, or CAN bus, that coordinates and operates everything from windows to headlines and brakes to power steering.

When the device, which is smaller than a smartphone, is attached to a car’s electrical systems and the CAN bus via four wires, attack commands can be input over Bluetooth, according to Future Tense.

Javier Vazquez-Vidal and Alberto Garcia Illera call the device the deviCAN Hacking Tool, or CHT.

Just thought you may be interested. Good to know about such things.

 could be useful in certain situations living in a police state...  :) 

checking out some new fly patterns to tie up... trout fishing will commence shortly... snow runoff is best time to fish ...  :)

Lucky dog, we do not have many trout this far south. A few creeks contain trout north of here about 100 miles or so.

Could be very useful :)

all fish are beautiful... some of my best memory's are fishing for needlefish in Chincoteague Bay... :) Bay... 

Wow! I have never seen a fish such as this. How big do these fish get? I bet you can get a huge filet off the side of such a fish! Are they fighters? Do they jump when you catch them, salt or fresh water? Remind me of a salt water fish.

 fun to catch on fly gear... 6/7 weight fly line... any fly that looks like a shiner... my best was around 3' saltwater... good to eat... :)

Did you make that fly? Very nice.

Years ago I bought a fly tying magnifier glass with all the little clips and moving arms, I use it for looking at old coins though. It will even bolt to the table.

So how long have you been tying?

I love to do dioramas its kinda like fly tying..well sorta, lol. I guess it's not really at all like it except for the meticulous tiny work and the satisfaction when you are done. 

I have never been fishing on the ocean, I am land locked here. Although I have been in the Pacific and the Atlantic and the Gulf.

The east coast smelled like dead fish (Virginia Beach actually Norfolk )the gulf was full of dead fish ( Past Christian, Louisiana ) and the west coast was very, very windy ( San Louis Obispo, California) and full of tiny little chipmunks.

Bluh bluh bluh, sry I get carried away sometimes.

Anyway nice fly and fish.

 that's a pattern that I'm working on...big thing now is a fly called a gummy Minnow...you can e-mail me any time you want... I go in a pattern each day... home ... work... setting up studio... repeat...today i found the second part of the studio... attic of building... studio has 3 parts... haven't found the 3rd space yet...will post some pics shortly... still unpacking & organizing... pic is of a williamsite carving... will be doing more shortly...  :)... :)
