Remote survey paper (car hacking)

Good Afternoon Interwebs,
Chris Valasek here. You may remember me from such nature films as “Earwigs: Eww”.
Charlie and I are finally getting around to publicly releasing our remote survey paper. I thought this went without saying but, to reiterate, we did NOT physically look at the cars that we discussed. The survey was designed as a high level overview of the information that we acquired from the mechanic’s sites for each manufacturer. The ‘Hackability’ is based upon our previous experience with automobiles, attack surface, and network structure.
Enjoy!
