Car hacker sought by Canadian military

The CBC reports [www.cbc.ca] that the Canadian Forces, concerned about the recent news of in-vehicle computer exploits has posted an Tender Notice [buyandsell.gc.ca] regarding conducting an ethical hack on selected vehicles for CDN $205k. There is also potential for follow-on work, for an additional $620k.

The work must be performed on their own test systems (Linux/Python). It sounds like they're looking at the vulnerability of vehicles in general, rather than just mil-pattern.
