Awesome idea. I vote for Femtopalooza 2022 and think Femto should host it in St. Petersburg, Florida for shits ‘n giggles. It would be like you never left St. P Russia except for the warm weather, nice beaches, and sun-fried old people walking around. I’d for sure take my car there for a cracked ECU.
Or partner up again in a different way. With all the ways to work remote/screen share there has to be a solution to sending the physical ECU to Russia. EX: Provide isolated box on your server to vendor, Femto remotes in to unlock, customer pays vendor for service, Femto gets their share for unlock from the money received from customer.
I doubt it’s that advanced. It’s basically gonna be a usb that’ll upload a code to the ecu. But still they’d need to protect it. Some agreements would have to be signed and trust would have to be formed. But I think this can happen fr. I hope they are at least considering
Possibly. I guess this would have to be ironed out. Sell the harness, but Femto still has to remote in to unlock (Femto controls the software)? Kick back to Femto for every unlock? Again trust and compromise.
I wouldnt be surprised if they are using a a timing or power related attack on the physical hardware. There are attacks where during startup of a microcontroller its vulnerable to attacks if you can freeze code execution. There are other attacks where you can cause odd behaviours by drooping voltages. Couple of examples below but I highly doubt its purely software, hardware attacks are probably being used otherwise this would be sold and packaged into a tool that tuners could use easily.
