Researcher reverse-engineers Renault infotainment just to fix the clock
Security researcher Rasmus Moorats found his 2014 Renault Latitude refused to let him adjust its dashboard clock because the original navigation SD card was missing, triggering a 'No maps detected!' error. Unable to fix it through normal settings, he reverse-engineered the head unit's customized Linux-based TomTom OS on a Samsung chip, extracting firmware, building a QEMU test environment, and finding multiple vulnerabilities before devising a kernel-level exploit to execute his own code.
