## What it is
A curated awesome-list of resources for learning about vehicle security and car hacking, including articles, books, courses, podcasts, hardware, and software tools. It serves as a reference index rather than a runnable software artifact.

## Use cases
- learn about car hacking and vehicle security
- find CAN bus tools and hardware for automotive research
- discover books, courses, and papers on automotive cybersecurity
- get started hacking vehicles as a beginner
- find researchers and conferences in vehicle security
- locate open-source tools for analyzing car networks

## When to choose
- you want a curated starting point for automotive security research
- you need links to learning materials, hardware, and tools in one place
- you are exploring car hacking as a beginner or researcher

## When to avoid
- you need an actual runnable tool or library rather than a link list
- you need up-to-the-minute coverage of the latest vulnerabilities
- you need formal training or certification rather than self-study resources

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: security, developer-tools
- domain: security, hardware, awesome-lists, tutorials
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: awesome-list, car-hacking, vehicle-security, can-bus, automotive-cybersecurity, curated-resources, automotive
