About
can-explorer is a CAN bus visualization tool designed to aid in reverse engineering.
How does this help me?
By continuously plotting all payloads for each CAN id, spotting trends that correspond to a specific action can become signicantly easier to identify.
Please refer to this prior article I wrote for a working example of how this approach can be used to find which id includes speedometer data.
Built With
Getting Started
Installation
pipx is recommended although any package manager that supports pyproject.toml files can be used.
pipx install can-explorer
Usage
The gui can be launched by running one of the below commands from a terminal.
can-explorer
python3 -m can_explorer
Before starting the viewer, you must navigate to the settings tab and input your interface adapter configuration to create a bus instance. Please refer to the python-can docs for more information regarding the various interfaces supported.
The gui can also be launched with a demo flag which will auto select the virtual interface option and start streaming simulated CAN data in a background process.
can-explorer --demo
