– Ekoparty 2024:

Danilo Erazo participated as a speaker in the main track of Ekoparty 2024, the largest and most important hacking event in Latin America. Danilo presented a talk titled “Unlocking Thousands of Cars by Reversing Learning Codes,” focusing on car hacking.

Talk Description:

Currently, there is no documented information on hacking Learning Codes, an algorithm similar to fixed codes and rolling codes used in keyless entry systems (KES) in cars. In this presentation, the complete reverse engineering process applied to this type of encoding was detailed for the first time. Radio frequency techniques and hardware hacking were used to develop an exploit capable of unlocking any vehicle that employs Learning Codes.

Additionally, the Latin American concept of the “Universal Key” was explored, based on the exploitation of vulnerabilities in KES with Learning Codes. The talk included a live demonstration of how to inject a backdoor into KES systems using this type of encoding, as well as exposing the serious collision issues associated with the use of these codes.

Finally, Danilo presented a Python tool he developed that integrates all the researched attacks, such as:

  • Discovering and configuring backdoors in KES systems.
  • Unlocking cars that use Learning Codes.
  • Opening vehicles with rolling codes using known attacks.

– Cryptoparty 2024:

Cryptoparty is a decentralized movement with events held worldwide. The goal of the event is to share knowledge and information on how to take control of your own digital space. This can include encrypted communications, avoiding tracking and surveillance during web searches, and general security tips for computers and mobile devices.

The event took place on October 19 in Quito, Ecuador, at the Casa de la Cultura and was organized by the Centro de Autonomía Digital. During the event, there were several learning tables. Reverse Everything participated as a speaker at the booth ‘Privacy, Anonymity, and the Use of VPNs: How to Protect Your Digital Life.’ The event was free and open to the general public.
