dissecto provides easy access to security diagnostics, analytics, and solutions while guiding you through security training and workshops.

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 an automated security test environment for electrical control units (ECUs), that detects and reports vulnerabilities. Alongside, we provide security training, pentesting 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 the following:

  • Security tests of entire vehicles
  • Penetration tests of ECUs and embedded systems
  • Hardware-Security Analysis
  • Processor-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 Test Interface that plays an important role within our HydraVision environment

HydraLink is a versatile USB to automotive Ethernet adapter, engineered to support the most pertinent standards

Workshops & Training

For over 8 years, we’ve constantly been developing our systems and practices, so we can help aspiring automotive security specialists or any person who wants to improve in this challenging field. Learn more about cybersecurity, from the basics of protocols and reverse engineering to hacking real vehicles and control units. Accompanied by practical exercises and anecdotes
