Passive and Active Attacks on TPMS Systems

Presented at DEF CON 33 by

In this talk we want to dive deep into the world of direct TPMS. These systems are used by a great portion of the cars today, and typically send information about a car’s tires wirelessly without any encryption or authentication. We show that it is feasible to capture these signals with very low cost hardware to build a tracking infrastructure. We present as well a tool that allows us to create custom TPMS messages and spoof the ECU of different cars.
