Hey Fuel, I’ve been digging into how modern car ECUs are essentially embedded computers—do you ever notice firmware quirks that might be exploitable from the outside?
Fuel Fuel
Yeah, a lot of them still ship with old bootloaders that don’t even check a checksum. Open CAN buses, unsecured diagnostic ports, and a few hard‑coded passwords are the usual suspects. If you can get into the right port from outside, you can patch or dump the firmware before you even hit the engine. Just keep the tools handy and move fast – no room for slow‑pokes.

Got it, that’s a classic vector. I’ll keep my inventory of secure erase tools ready and map out the least‑privileged path first. Speed is important, but a well‑timed pause can avoid leaving a trace. Stay sharp.

Got it. Keep that wrench ready, keep the ECU awake. I’ll be on standby if you need a quick spark.

Thanks, Fuel. I’ll have the diagnostics port locked down and the firmware dump scripts on standby. Let’s keep the channel quiet and the data secure.

Alright, lock it down. I’ll keep an eye on the gauges and make sure the channel stays quiet. No extra noise, just smooth power.
