Test Wireless Attack Paths

Wireless vehicle attack-surface testing requires controlled access to the communication paths that connect a vehicle, subsystem, or electronic control unit to external networks and nearby devices. The test setup needs cellular, wireless local area network, Bluetooth, and internet protocol attack modules, along with gateway hardware and control software that can execute repeatable security assessments against the selected device under test.

A typical workflow starts by selecting the wireless interfaces included in the test campaign, configuring the matching hardware and software options, and running defined attack modules against each path. Engineers then review results by interface, compare observed behavior across attack types, isolate unresolved findings, and rerun selected tests after mitigation to confirm whether exposure has changed.

Wireless Vehicle Attack Testing Solution

Testing wireless vehicle attack surfaces requires repeatable security assessment across the cellular, wireless local area network, Bluetooth, and internet protocol paths that connect vehicle systems to external devices and networks. The Keysight  Automotive Cybersecurity Testing solution supports this workflow with configurable hardware gateways, PathWave-based control software, and penetration toolsets. Engineers can configure cellular, WLAN, and Bluetooth connectivity options, select the corresponding software modules, and execute automated attacks against electronic control units, systems, or full vehicles.
