Seems like the next logical conclusion is to sell dual-use devices with a "just add software" component provided by a "Russian" company.

There’s exactly one company who can crack BMW ECUs. You have to send it to them and they have a Russian method to do it. Cough, cough, somebody hacked Bosch or BMW and grabbed the firmware keys.
They moved to Finland recently for obvious reasons.
I found quite a few devices for cars like that, just install this Russian or Chinese software to enable the real thing.

Depends on the type of ECU, if you have the tool to dump the firmware (via CAN or BDM/ JTAG) you send the file and they modify it, you just flash it back.

Haha. If they have to have their hands on it, it's far more likely they're swapping a chip or if fancy- using a die channel attack.

The forums say it's for secrecy but I think a die channel attack might make more sense.
>Femto can do a partial unlock on original DME or a Full Unlock on a Cloned DME.
I guess they might be doing some soldering for the cloned ECU/DME. You have to pony up some extra cash for a ECU/DME to clone.

Sorry- stupid auto-(in)correct... Side channel attack, not die channel.
