  • Ethical Hacking of Android Auto in the Context of Road Safety
    EXAMENSARBETE INOM DATATEKNIK, GRUNDNIVÅ, 15 HP STOCKHOLM, SVERIGE 2021 Ethical Hacking of Android Auto in the Context of Road Safety ALEXANDER PALM BENJAMIN GAFVELIN KTH SKOLAN FÖR ELEKTROTEKNIK OCH DATAVETENSKAP © 2021 Alexander Palm and Benjamin Gafvelin Abstract | i Abstract With a more than ever increasing demand to interconnect smartphones with infotainment systems, Android Auto has risen in popularity with its services used in modern vehicles worldwide. However, as users progressively connect their smartphones to in-vehicle infotainment systems, the opportunity for malicious actors to endanger and access private data of Android Auto users advances as well. The goal with this thesis is to determine how secure Android Auto is for road use. The main research question is to figure out if Android Auto is susceptible to attacks that exploit certain vulnerabilities in the Android operating system.The research question was answered by creating several proof-of- concept attacks on Android Auto using an emulated infotainment system with mobile devices. An investigation was also conducted regarding the application’s communication channel between the mobile device and infotainment display. Results of this thesis demonstrate that several attacks are substantially severe to endanger drivers on the road. There is a great risk of successful exploits when running Android Auto locally on the phone without a connection to the infotainment system, and a lesser risk when connected to the infotainment system. Intercepting communication in the USB channel revealed an encryption algorithm whose version has published exploits and can be cracked to potentially exploit Android Auto. Keywords Android Auto Security; Infotainment System; Road Safety; Penetration Testing; Malicious Apps; Android Security; ii | Abstract Sammanfattning | iii Sammanfattning I takt med en evigt ökande efterfrågan på att sammankoppla smart- telefoner med infotainmentsystem, har allt fler börjat använda Android Auto i sina fordon världen över.

  • How to Download Google Directions to Phone Android Android Auto Review: the Best Way to Get Google Maps in Your Car
    how to download google directions to phone android Android Auto review: The best way to get Google Maps in your car. I love Android, I love cars, and I love driving, so I was pretty excited when Google announced Android Auto. And after using it for several weeks and giving the test vehicles back to their owners, I kind of miss it. Android Auto is still very much in its early stages. Unlike a smartphone, which you can easily trade in for a newer model, Android Auto requires more commitment. You have to either buy a car with a in-dash infotainment system that’s compatible with the software or pay to have it installed in an aftermarket setup. It isn’t cheap, and it's not easy to swap out for something else. Once you have it in your car, you’ll soon realize it’s lacking some of the features it really needs to feel whole. And sometimes, it responds inconsistently to your commands. But I realize how much safer it is to have a big screen with Android in the dashboard of my car than the smaller screen-size of the smartphone in my hand, and it’s super convenient having Google’s apps and services readily on tap. The first drive. I’ve always believed that driving a car should be a pleasant experience, but driving a car with Android Auto will, at first, be a test of your patience. You can’t always just get in the car, plug in your phone, and drive off.
