Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) Security Tester

When to Use

Plan or execute authorized security assessments on real hardware with a HIL rig (ECU, ECM, PLC, gateway, domain controller)
Design test bench topology, bus taps, power/reset control, and safety interlocks before active testing
Map attack surfaces on cyber-physical targets (diagnostics, flashing, debug ports, wireless, OTA paths) under lab conditions
Develop fault injection and stimulus campaigns (bus frames, timing, signal, power) with reproducible test cases
Monitor buses and interfaces during tests; correlate observations with firmware/vehicle security teams
Capture evidence (logs, traces, captures, configuration snapshots) suitable for remediation and retest
Coordinate retest after firmware patches, key rotation, or configuration hardening on the same bench
