ABOUT

ScapyCon 2026 continues to evolve with a more integrated format, combining morning talks and presentations with interactive afternoon sessions focused on demos, workshops, and roundtables. Taking place on September 15–16 at TechBase Regensburg, the event emphasizes hands-on exchange and closer collaboration within the cybersecurity community. Speakers include Dr. Reinhard Kugler (SBA Research) and Dr. Friedrich Wiemer (Bosch), contributing expertise from both research and industry. The evening event at Degginger Regensburg on September 15 offers a dedicated setting to connect with peers and continue discussions beyond the sessions.

Speakers

Dr. Enrico Pozzobon

Senior Manager, dissecto GmbH

Enrico has worked as an automotive penetration tester since 2016. Together with Dr. Nils Weiss, he built the automotive security research lab at the OTH Regensburg and later founded dissecto. He has worked with several automotive manufacturers and insurance companies to find vulnerabilities and build exploit demonstrations.

Opening Remarks

Philippe Biondi, creator of Scapy, reflected on the project’s early beginnings and expressed his pride in seeing it evolve into a global tool—now celebrated through a dedicated conference decades after its inception.

Dr. Nils Weiss

Senior Manager, dissecto GmbH

Dr. Weiss delved into penetration testing during his Bachelor’s and Master’s, exploring vulnerabilities in embedded systems and entire vehicles. Active in developing open-source penetration test frameworks like Scapy, he co-founded dissecto GmbH in 2022, focusing on simplifying security diagnostics and solutions for embedded systems.

Conference Opening

Dissecto founder and Senior Manager Dr. Nils Weiß will host ScapyCon Automotive 2026 and guides participants through the conference day, setting the stage for discussions on Scapy’s evolution, community growth, and its expanding role in cybersecurity development.

Dr. Reinhard Kugler

Principal Security Consultant, SBA Research

Reinhard’s focus relies on security testing of IT and industrial cyber-physical systems. Based on his prior experience in cyber defense, he works with companies to develop security capabilities and secure products. Reinhard is an experienced instructor and develops tailored security trainings. His mission is to apply research methods (combinatorial security testing) to industrial applications, like automotive, embedded or cloud.

From Garage Testing to CI Pipelines: Towards automated Security Testing of Automotive Containers

Linux and containers are increasingly used in modern automotive ECUs, including infotainment systems and HPCs, yet security testing and prototyping remain challenging as organizations adapt to CI/CD practices. Moving from ad-hoc testing to automated Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) introduces hurdles such as supporting automotive protocols (e.g., CAN) in CI environments, integrating testing tools with the system under test, and automating repeatable, cost-effective test cases.
This talk presents approaches to integrating automotive applications into automated build systems and explores practical testing methods, including smart fuzzing, Scapy-based automation, and combinatorial testing.

Dr. Friedrich Wiemer

Security Researcher, Robert Bosch

Friedrich Wiemer is a security researcher at Robert Bosch GmbH working on in-vehicle network security. He (co-)drives the CANsec and CAN FD Adaptation Layer specifications in the CiA working groups and contributes to the Automotive MACsec and MKA profiles of Open Alliance TC17.

Foundational Security from Ethernet to CAN: Prototyping CANsec and FDAL with Scapy

MACsec is the established link-layer security for automotive Ethernet, while CAN and CAN FD — still carrying most safety-critical traffic — lack an equivalent. We address this gap by reusing MACsec for CANsec, the Layer 2 security protocol for CAN XL (CiA 613-2), and extending it to CAN FD via the CAN FD Adaptation Layer (FDAL), bringing a consistent trust foundation to existing nodes.

Scapy supported this work end-to-end: integrating CAN XL from the Linux kernel, implementing CANsec and FDAL, generating test vectors for vendors, and enabling a proof-of-concept Ethernet application over secured CAN FD.
