We offer cybersecurity testing tools, penetration testing, and cybersecurity workshops to secure embedded systems.

Founded in 2022 by the maintainers and primary contributors to “Automotive Scapy”, a widely embraced packet manipulation tool in the automotive industry, dissecto specializes in simplifying cybersecurity testing for embedded systems. Our flagship product, dissecto HydraVision, is a security test environment for electrical control units (ECUs) that detects and reports vulnerabilities. Alongside, we provide penetration testing tools, cybersecurity validation, and advanced hardware solutions like the dissecto HydraLink interface.

Consulting & Development

dissecto assists you in testing the specific functions/security measures of your hardware. We specialize in:

  • Vehicle cybersecurity for entire systems
  • Penetration testing of ECUs and embedded systems
  • Hardware-security analysis
  • Proof of Concept Attacks and Showcases

HydraVision PaaS

HydraVision is a platform as a service, that integrates automated security testing into ECU lifecycles, ensuring compliance with the latest directives and standards like UNECE R155 and ISO/SAE 21434. New threats reported by developers, dissecto research or third parties such as Auto-ISAC are proactively monitored and tested, without the need to create new attack vectors against your system.

Hardware & Software

HydraHat is a dual CAN FD to Ethernet Gateway providing reliable and efficient data communication.

HydraProbe is a Security Test Tool integral to our HydraVision security test environment.

HydraLink is a versatile USB to Automotive Ethernet Interface supporting the 1000BASE-T1 standard.

Cybersecurity Workshops

For over 8 years, we’ve constantly been developing our systems and practices to help aspiring professionals master cybersecurity with hands-on workshops. Learn more about it, from the basics of protocols and reverse engineering to hacking real vehicles and control units. Become an expert in embedded system security and vehicle cybersecurity through real-world exercises and practical insights from renowned experts in the field.

Your Benefits

Each industry has its own standards. As new vulnerabilities emerge, our cybersecurity validation tools enable you to instantly adapt to the latest CVEs. Our automated, traceable tests ensure your embedded systems remain compliant with current regulations, providing comprehensive security vulnerability testing that scales with your needs.

Years of R&D have enabled us to create a testing system that delivers clear, consistent, and reliable results. Our standardized approach ensures transparency, giving you full visibility and control over your network security test results. With global collaboration features and seamless on/offboarding, your team can effortlessly work together from anywhere in the world.

Our Security Test Environment is a Platform as a Service (PaaS) that merges decades of expertise with advanced technology to deliver cost-effective and efficient security testing. Unlike costly Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) setups or unsustainable one-time penetration tests, our automated solution ensures high-quality security testing while keeping costs low.

ScapyCon 24

ScapyCon successfully provided participants with an opportunity to deepen their skills and knowledge in using Scapy, the leading Python tool for packet manipulation. The conference offered a blend of traditional presentations and hands-on cybersecurity workshops. While the focus included automotive cybersecurity applications, ScapyCon spanned a wide range of industries, from aviation to IoT. Attendees appreciated the rich content, location, catering, and social activities after the event. We want to thank everyone who joined us during ScapyCon 24!
