ACSD @ DEF CON 32

🚗🎮 Ready to turn your car into the ultimate game controller?

Join Timm Lauser and Jannis Hamborg from the ACSD research group at DEF CON 32 in Las Vegas from Aug. 8-11, 2024, for their mind-blowing talk: "Redefining V2G - How to Use Your Vehicle as a Game Controller."

Modern cars are complex networks of computers on wheels, crucial for security research. But what if you could use this knowledge for something more fun? Enter Vehicle-to-Game (V2G), a Python-based project that transforms your car into a game controller. Whether you run V2G on a laptop or turn a Raspberry Pi Zero WH into a Bluetooth gamepad, it connects via the OBD2 diagnostic port or directly to the car’s CAN bus.

Perfect for car enthusiasts and tech tinkerers, this talk will guide you through reverse engineering CAN messages and setting up your hardware. Imagine owning a game controller more expensive than any of your neighbors'! Don't miss this unique fusion of automotive tech and gaming.
