CANghost

An Automated Tool For Hacking Into CAN Bus - Car Hacking

Requirements:

Any Linux Distributions (Ubuntu is Recommended)
can-utils
ICSim - Car Simulation

can-utils is a Linux specific set of utilities that enables Linux to communicate with the CAN network on the vehicle. The canutils consist of 5 main tools that we use very frequently:

cansniffer for sniffing the packets
cansend for writing a packet candump dump all received packets
canplayer to replay CAN packets
cangen to generate random CAN packets

can-utils can be installed via apt-get

sudo apt-get install can-utils -y

Installation of CANghost :

git clone https://github.com/souravbaghz/CANghost

Usage:

cd CANghost/
bash canghost.sh <interface> <logfilename>
Example- bash canghost.sh vcan0 demolog

Note: First Install & Run ICSim then run canghost.sh

A Quick Tutorial

Preparing the Virtual CAN Network:

ubuntu@sourav:~/ICSim$./setup_vcan.sh

Running the Simulator:

Running the dashboard

 ubuntu@sourav:~/ICSim$./icsim vcan0

Control Panel can be started by

 ubuntu@sourav:~/ICSim$./controls vcan0

Now Start the CANghost:

ubuntu@sourav:~/CANghost$./canghost.sh vcan0 mylog

Now choose the option you want and play with your Virtual Car.

About CANghost:

I made this tool to automate the process and save my time while hacking or practicing. The script first dump all the CAN packets in Capture option and Replay that packets(logfile) into Car in Replay option. Don't play with Real car, I always recommend to use on Simulator. I made this tool for learning & personal purpose, If you want to do it manually then you can check code source to understand how it works...
