DEF CON Safe Mode Aerospace Village What I Learned Trying to Hack a 737

As part of work looking at avionics security, we reverse-engineered two Communication Management Units used on 737s, and they are engineered unlike any other embedded system I’ve seen. CMUs must be certified to a high Design Assurance Level, but airlines typically want to add custom airline operations applications. This talk explores how these seemingly incompatible requirements are met in two very different ways, and takes a deep dive into how the CMUs work.

This event will be coordinated on the DEF CON Discord server, in channel #av-aviation-text.

Ladies, I'd rather get down with the CMU. At least it will have a pulse.

What luck finding the exact manual you needed.
