Automotive ECU security testing

Security-test your ECUs. Automatically.

AutoST connects to an ECU on your bench, maps its diagnostic surface, fuzzes it, checks its SecurityAccess and hands your team a ranked fix plan. The depth of a specialist, run by your own test engineers.

  • Built by the team that hacks ECUs for a living
  • In use at Tier 1, Tier 2 and OEM programmes

In short

AutoST is an automated security testing platform for automotive ECUs, made by Zyberum GmbH in Germany. A test agent (Carbyne) connects to an ECU on the bench over CAN, CAN FD, DoIP or SOME/IP, while a web dashboard orchestrates the scans. It enumerates diagnostic sessions, services and data identifiers, imports ODX and CDD files to name DIDs and run routines, probes UDS SecurityAccess (0x27), fuzzes UDS and CAN, checks Android infotainment units over ADB, scores the risk and produces a ranked fix plan with PDF, SARIF, CSV and JSON output. It runs on your own servers or hosted by Zyberum and fits into CI/CD pipelines.

How it works

Three steps from bench to fix plan

No security specialists required. A test engineer wires it up and AutoST does the rest.

  1. 01

    1 · Connect

    Define the ECU in the dashboard and pair the Carbyne agent on your bench. It talks CAN, CAN FD, DoIP and SOME/IP through a SocketCAN, Vector or Panda interface.

  2. 02

    2 · Scan

    Pick the engines: enumeration, fuzzing, SecurityAccess, DoIP/SOME/IP, IVI. Upload an ODX or CDD file to name DIDs and drive routines. Watch progress live.

  3. 03

    3 · Fix

    AutoST ranks every finding by risk, groups it into a fix plan with concrete remediation, and exports PDF evidence plus SARIF, CSV or JSON for your tracker.

The dashboard

Every ECU, its risk and its last scan in one view

Components grouped by project or vehicle line, each with a risk badge and the status of its last scan. Roles and groups keep teams and suppliers apart.

  • Risk and last-scan status at a glance
  • Groups per project, vehicle line or supplier
  • Role-based access for teams and tenants

The engines

One platform, every layer of the ECU

Each engine is a focused security test. Run one, or run them all and let the fix plan pull the findings together.

UDS enumeration

Discovers diagnostic endpoints, sessions, every service and the readable DIDs, and flags the risky ones.

UDS enumeration

DID & routine scanning

Imports ODX, PDX and CDD to name DIDs and call the right routines (0x31), with opt-in write-probing.

DID & routines

SecurityAccess (0x27)

Tests seed randomness, weak seed/key algorithms, default keys, brute-force lockout and sequence enforcement.

SecurityAccess

Fuzzing

Reproducible UDS and CAN fuzzing with live crash detection via TesterPresent and DTC monitoring.

ECU fuzzing

DoIP & SOME/IP

UDS over IP, DoIP routing activation and vehicle discovery, plus SOME/IP service and method mapping.

DoIP & SOME/IP

Android IVI

Recon and hardening checks for Android infotainment over ADB: permissions, exposed components, SELinux.

IVI testing

The fix plan

Findings become tasks your engineers can act on

Every finding across every engine lands in one rehabilitation plan, ranked by severity. Each task says what was found, why it matters and how to fix it, with a workflow state and export to your ALM or PLM tracker.

  • Severity-ranked, with what / risk / fix on every item
  • List and Kanban views with assignees and status
  • Export to CSV, SARIF 2.1.0 and JSON

Why teams pick AutoST

Specialist depth, without hiring specialists

No pentest team needed

Your QA and test engineers run deep security tests. The hard-won knowledge is baked into the engines.

Repeatable and automatable

Reproducible seeds, API tokens and a CI plugin mean the same scan runs on every build, not once a year.

Your data stays yours

Run AutoST on your own servers or let us host it. Test results and reports belong to you.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What does AutoST test?

AutoST tests automotive ECUs: it enumerates UDS diagnostics (sessions, services, DIDs), scans routines from ODX/CDD files, probes SecurityAccess (0x27), fuzzes UDS and CAN, tests DoIP and SOME/IP, and checks Android infotainment units over ADB. It scores the risk and produces a ranked fix plan.

Do I need security experts to use it?

No. AutoST is built so QA and test engineers can run deep security tests. You wire the ECU to the bench agent, pick the engines and read the results. The security knowledge is in the engines.

What hardware and protocols are supported?

CAN and CAN FD (ISO-TP), UDS (ISO 14229), XCP and CCP, DoIP (ISO 13400) and SOME/IP. The Carbyne bench agent runs on Windows and Linux and works with SocketCAN, Vector XL and comma.ai Panda interfaces.

Can we run it on our own infrastructure?

Yes. AutoST runs on your own servers as a container, or hosted by Zyberum. Test data and reports stay with you. It is multi-tenant with role-based access and groups.

Does it fit into CI/CD?

Yes. AutoST has long-lived API tokens and a CI plugin that triggers a scan, polls for the result, fails the build on findings and emits JSON, JUnit XML and a PDF. Any CI system can drive it through the REST API.

Who makes AutoST?

AutoST is built by Zyberum GmbH, an automotive security team in Hannover, Germany, founded by Tom Zaubermann, former lead of the InCar Security Testing Lab at Volkswagen AG.
