CarHacking.Tools is a scripts collection of scripts to help jump start car research (and hacking?). All the scripts are designed and update to run on Ubuntu 20.04.
To Install The Full Desktop:
Git clone https://github.com/jgamblin/carhackingtools
cd CarHackingTools
sudo chmod +x *.sh
./workstationinstall.shTo Install Only The Tools:
git clone https://github.com/jgamblin/carhackingtools
cd carhackingtools
sudo chmod +x *.sh
./toolinstall.shYou will need an OBDII adapter to get started.
Here are three of my favorites that I own and test with:

| USB ELM327 | http://a.co/7YrtPui | Best for getting started and virtual environments. |
| Veepeak Bluetooth | http://a.co/80FLIMV | Great for permanent installs and using with your phone. |
| Cantact | https://hackerwarehouse.com/product/cantact-bundle/ | An amazing open-source project for advanced users. |

The following tools are installed and configured automatically:

The following sites have been useful to me:
| Link | Notes |
|---|---|
| http://opengarages.org/handbook/ | Car Hacking Handbook |
| http://opengarages.org/ | Open Garages |
| https://wiki.linklayer.com/index.php/SocketCAN | I user this when I forget how to enable can0 |
I likely don't know what I am doing and this could be done faster, better and simpler some other way. These scripts could also break your car (seriously) and make you cry.
