Compromising an Electronic Logging Device and Creating a Truck2Truck Worm

Presented by Jake Jepson and Rik Chatterjee, two Systems Engineering Master's students at Colorado State University, this talk delves into the critical security implications within the trucking industry, particularly focusing on Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs). These devices, integral to compliance with Hours of Service regulations, present unique cyber-physical threats due to their networked nature and lack of standardized security protocols. The presentation will walk through examining potential remote exploits via wireless ELD compromise, leading to cyber physical control payloads and even wormable scenarios. Key vulnerabilities identified include insecure defaults and poor security practices shown on a commercially available ELD. These vulnerabilities not only expose truck networks to potential unauthorized control but also highlight systemic issues in device certification and security oversight.
