Avionics

Attack Research is the premier penetration testing company for avionics, aerospace, and inflight entertainment.  Since 2009, team members have worked alongside airline OEMs and their Tier 1 suppliers to remediate security issues before they are put sent into production. Production configurations are also tested in controlled labs as well as on aircraft.


AR has had tremendous success using conventional and unconventional techniques to identify vulnerabilities and work with customers on remediation. This prevents loss of confidential data or customer PII and eliminates threats such as payment bypass attacks or stunt hacks.

AUTOMOTIVE

Vehicles today are more computerized and connected as ever. We work works closely with OEM and Tier 1 suppliers on penetration testing and new product design. Our presence in the industry is long term, and we have a breadth of experience that encompasses ECU, IHU, and the CAN/LIN bus. This includes reverse engineering and attacks against hardware, radio, and network.

SATCOM

Traditionally, focused SATCOM RF research relies on interception, signal analysis, decoding and hardware design.  Attack Research, through ongoing tests with our customers, has demonstrated that performing a more holistic analysis of the overall SATCOM environment in addition to the more common methodology will provide superior results. 

These engagements bring into scope servers, network links, control systems and authentication services.  The systems and infrastructure surrounding today's SATCOM systems are often a larger failure point and potential subject for abuse. 

​AR has expertise and evaluating all of this supporting infrastructure as well as at the RF level.

MILITARY

Military projects are very specialized and compartmentalized where only sections are researched as part of a bigger whole. Our staff, who carry up to the highest clearances, thrives in these environments and have decades of experience in government and military research.

We have developed custom long-term and short-term specialized products, provided solutions for unusual scenarios, and researched various depths of potential vulnerabilities within a variety of systems.

GAMING

Gaming began very simply, with limited players and very controlled hardware and software environments. Today, many games are massively multiplayer with cutthroat competition, relying heavily on networked infrastructure and vast payment systems. Many have become sports-like events building a multi-billion-dollar industry.

Attack Research has been instrumental to these companies through penetration testing and consultation on their infrastructure, payment, and gaming design. We also assist in tracking down cheaters as well as finding product leaks and internal leaks of game code.

AR staff comprises avid gamers who have spent countless hours of time “researching” game play and game dynamics. This includes a tradition of weekly game nights.

SCADA / IOT

The advent of Industry 4.0 and IOT demands industries to live in an increasing interconnected word.  The integration of the SCADA systems with the back-office, or the collection of data from the IOT edges creates new vector for attacker to exploit.

​The experience matured over the years allows AR to understand the needs of a modern industry and to perform a comprehensive review of the systems.
