People often ask me "How did you learn how to hack?" The answer: by reading. This page is a collection of the blog posts and other articles that I have accumulated over the years of my journey. Enjoy!

In the previous two posts, they got root access to the system by breaking the update functionality. So, now what? Let's build some software!

ccOS(Connected Car Operating System) is an OS developed by Nvidia and Hyundai for all recent vehicles. While reading the OS, they found several header files for doing development on the OS! The author downloaded VS code, the G++ ARM cross compiler stack and a few other things in order to start compiling. They started off with a simple C++ program to view the status of the door using the library. That's pretty neat!

From there, they made a slightly more complicated CLI interface to unlock and lock the doors using the known interface. To finish off the research, they built a simple GUI application with QT in order to pop a screen on the entertainment console. The only complication with this was registering the GUI app with the Helix package manager. With this, they could start up their application from the CLI to display on the screen!

Overall, a good blog series on reverse engineering and getting a good setup for hacking. They may wrote more posts in the future, which I'd love to see.
