    I think a great comparison to this is the video gaming console market, remember how rampant piracy was with the early Playstations and Xbox's? As each new generation console got released the security stepped up, at some point all the open doors get closed and you have to accept defeat and that technology won the war. There is no 'mod chip' for the Xbox-One or PS4, they've been out for 6 years and still nobody can get around the security to play pirated games which was the whole intention of any security those companies engineered. I would suggest the best digital signature cracking minds would be working on those non stop rather than cars.
    Actually there probably is a few people able to execute exploits on these consoles but it's not something to mass market or maybe they are concerned about SONY's reaction (and why shouldn't we be as concerned about GM?)


    Again they will be shut out by technology, GM has encrypted CAN bus in 2020. Lets assume there was an ECM that could run the engine, nothing else on the car will work.
    So damn true!

    Did they encrypt CAN bus in all 2020 old ECMs like E92 ? or just the new ECMs ?

    I'm no expert on this as I have no official GM knowledge, but as far as I know it hasn't been deployed yet (2020 Cadillac was to be first) and will probably only be on the new generation ECM's because the new system is apparently Ethernet based, not CAN.

    Even with CAN bus, the car makers are starting to encrypt data that flies between modules.

    Wow very interesting read guys. C8 on global B...they really do not want anyone in their network and modules anymore. I wonder if the C8 will be hackable by any means. You could have a standalone ECU work in may cases in a fully stripped out car..
