Module Ranking and Traits

Module Ranking:

  • normal: The exploit is otherwise reliable, but depends on a specific version and can't (or doesn't) reliably autodetect. More information about ranking can be found here.

Basic Usage

There are two ways to execute this post module.

From the Meterpreter prompt

The first is by using the "run" command at the Meterpreter prompt. It allows you to run the post module against that specific session:

meterpreter > run post/hardware/automotive/mazda_ic_mover

From the msf prompt

The second is by using the "use" command at the msf prompt. You will have to figure out which session ID to set manually. To list all session IDs, you can use the "sessions" command.

msf > use post/hardware/automotive/mazda_ic_mover
msf post(mazda_ic_mover) > show options
    ... show and set options ...
msf post(mazda_ic_mover) > set SESSION session-id
msf post(mazda_ic_mover) > exploit

If you wish to run the post against all sessions from framework, here is how:

1 - Create the following resource script:


framework.sessions.each_pair do |sid, session|
  run_single("use post/hardware/automotive/mazda_ic_mover")
  run_single("set SESSION #{sid}")
  run_single("run")
end

2 - At the msf prompt, execute the above resource script:

msf > resource path-to-resource-script

Required Options

  • SESSION: The session to run this module on.

Knowledge Base

Introduction

mazda_ic_mover or Mazda 2 Instrument Cluster Accelorometer Mover sends CAN message to move the needle of the accelorometer and speedometer of the Mazda 2 instrument cluster. This works specifically for for Mazda 2 1.5 Skyactiv, Mazda Demio, Mazda 2 Demio, Scion iA, Toyota Yaris, Toyota Yaris R and Toyota Yaris iA.

This research was done by Jay Turla of ROOTCON's Car Hacking Village.

Verification Steps

Fire up virtual CAN bus:

  1. sudo modprobe can
  2. sudo modprobe vcan
  3. sudo ip link add dev vcan0 type vcan
  4. sudo ip link set up vcan0

You could also use Craig Smith's Virtual Instrument Cluster Simulator.

Launch msf:

  1. Start msfconsole
  2. use auxiliary/server/local_hwbridge
  3. set uripath testbus
  4. run
  5. use auxiliary/client/hwbridge/connect
  6. set targeturi testbus

Options

CANBUS CAN Bus to perform scan on, defaults to connected bus

Scenarios

A successful spoofing of an instrument cluster on a target vehicle:

msf5 auxiliary(client/hwbridge/connect) > run
[*] Running module against 127.0.0.1

[*] Attempting to connect to 127.0.0.1...

You can use candump to verify the CAN messages being sent:

jjt@ubuntu:~/pentot/ICSim$ candump -c vcan0
  vcan0  202   [8]  60 01 60 60 60 60 60 00
