Caring Caribou is a versatile automotive security exploration tool designed for analyzing and testing CAN bus networks.
A friendly car security exploration tool for the CAN bus
This tool is primarily used by automotive security researchers and penetration testers to discover, analyze, and exploit vulnerabilities in CAN bus systems without prior knowledge of the network. It enables zero-knowledge security testing by collecting information on available services and potential vulnerabilities in vehicle ECUs.
Users should have a basic understanding of CAN bus protocols and automotive diagnostics to effectively utilize this tool. As it interacts directly with vehicle networks, caution is advised to avoid unintended disruptions or damage. The tool is designed for research and testing purposes and should be used ethically and legally.
