would that be a way around the firewall that all the manufacturers of cars with in-vehicle entertainment systems are totally and definitely implementing without any flaws between it and the can-bus used for controlling the car?

uh what?

why would the charger be communicating with the entertainment system?

i wouldn't be at all surprised to learn the charging port had a data pin that let the charger talk to the canbus

they're thinking about that def con talk from a few years back where you could take over Chryslers through the cell-connected infotainment

for EVs the normal thing is to have every aspect of the car controllable remotely, which means there's an interconnect between the traction battery system and the cell network, and an interconnect between the traction battery system and external EV chargers

i haven't seen much about charger comms. afaik the vehicle sends a vin to the supercharger for billing/auth but i haven't seen anything explaining the protocol

at its most basic the only communication between the car and the charger is it putting various resistances across a signal line to say how much current it can supply / draw, which you probably couldn't hack, but i'm sure there's way more complex systems now and they're probably connected directly to the CAN bus just because they CAN be :haw:

Taking over an EV charger would probably be a decent credit card mitm attack, since there are a bunch of brands and if you just did the “oops sorry the new system needs your data updated, scan this qr or visit this link to continue” and most users would happily enter their cc details

right. also how likely is it those terminals are properly walled off from the rest of the charger owner's network?

i have no idea why but amazon recommended me the very crazy book "Project: Soul Catcher: Secrets of Cyber and Cybernetic Warfare Revealed" just now and with a title like that i just had to look inside (so i'm going to get a bunch more recommendations i'm sure). right at page one of chapter one, it's amazing:

If they are running their application as admin, and not as some sort of service account, its probably safe to assume they have little to nothing between their endpoints and their colo/cloud.

these are actually very useful if you need low latency, jitter, and packet loss instead of raw throughput. good ones have mandatory AES encryption and can be easily re-keyed if you don't trust their key assignment. only real downside is speed drops pretty dramatically if you have them behind a surge protector.

I used to use a pair to bring a solid network connection into my office because there's no way I'm going to route my work (encrypted as it may be) over a wireless connection. my new place has cat6 in the wall so now I used them to put a printer in a more convenient spot where there isn't a close jack.

from what i've heard power-line network stuff like that is very popular in europe because a lot of their buildings (especially the old ones) are made of solid materials instead of cardboard and tape and so attenuate wifi real good

more likely it's because there are much stricter limits for wifi AP power output over there. 2.4 and 5.8 aren't slain by two walls, which would be the more likely case in smaller EU residences

Since server versions of windows can finally run without a gui, I'm surprised Microsoft still doesn't sell a pos/kiosk version of windows where only the user application runs on the gui. Or do they and nobody uses it for some reason?
