.. _Intro: Intro ===== Purpose and Who We Are ---------------------- Our customer, the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute, wants to utilize the Resistant Automotive Miniature Network (RAMN) to help develop cybersecurity practices and facilitate a learning environment for future cybersecurity and automotive engineering students. The RAMN serves as an educational tool to highlight the vulnerabilities of automotive Electronic Control Units (ECUs). This website provides a background on the RAMN board, an extensive overview of how to set up the required environment to interact with the board, and several cybersecurity challenges. What is RAMN? ------------- RAMN (Resistant Automotive Miniature Network) is a credit-card-sized ECU testbed for safely studying and researching automotive systems. Check out the official `What is RAMN? `_ page for more info. What is on this website? ------------------------ This website will show you what on the `RAMN Read The Docs `_ is important for the cybersecurity challenges we made and provide extra details on things like how to use the RAMN. Getting Started with the Cybersecurity Challenges ----------------------- We have made three challenges. To know what you need to install, go to the :doc:`softwareInstallation` section. The challenges are beginner-friendly, and you can go to the :doc:`challengeHints` section for extra help. :doc:`challengeProblems/Brute_Force_Scripting` :doc:`challengeProblems/Capture_The_Flag` :doc:`challengeProblems/ECU_Manipulation` Key Terms --------- - RAMN - Resistant Automotive Miniature Network - ECUs - Electronic Control Units - CAN/CAN-FD - Controller Area Network with Flexible Data-Rate - UDS - Unified Diagnostic Services - USB - Universal Serial Bus - CTF - Capture the Flag
