Awesome Vehicle Security is a curated list of resources for learning about vehicle security and car hacking.
The list addresses the challenge of finding quality educational material and tools scattered across the automotive cybersecurity landscape. It organizes resources by category—including articles, presentations, books, research papers, courses, blogs, podcasts, and conferences—making it easier for learners to discover relevant content. The approach is comprehensive, covering both theoretical knowledge through academic papers and practical skills through hardware projects and software tools.
Someone considering this resource should know it serves as a reference guide rather than a learning platform itself. It suits developers, security researchers, and automotive enthusiasts who want to explore vehicle security topics and need pointers to established learning materials and communities. The list includes sections on hardware and software projects, libraries and tools organized by programming language, and information about companies and coordinated disclosure practices. It also references related specialized lists focused on specific protocols like CAN Bus and LIN Bus, acknowledging that some topics warrant deeper exploration elsewhere.
The project actively solicits community contributions through a dedicated contributing guide, indicating ongoing maintenance and expansion of the resource list.
