He is also one of the founders of the Hive13 Hackerspace and Open Garages (OpenGarages).

He has worked for several auto manufacturers, where he provided public research on vehicle security and tools.

His specialties are reverse engineering and penetration testing.

This book is largely a product of Open Garages and Craigs desire to get people up to speed on auditing their vehicles.

He has worked in the aftermarket engine management sphere for the past few years, doing everything from reverse engineering to dyno tuning cars.

He also does aftermarket vehicle calibration on a freelance basis.

Currently, he is a vehicle security architect for Faraday Future and a contributor to Hackaday.

Vehicle technology is trending toward more complexity and more connectivity.

Combined, these trends will require a greater focus on automotive security and more talented individuals to provide this focus.

In my experience, the best security professionals (and hobbyists) are those who are naturally curious about how things work.

These people explore, tinker, experiment, and disassemble, sometimes just for the joy of discovery.

Most cars dont come with a keyboard and login prompt, but they do come with a possibly unfamiliar array of protocols, CPUs, connectors, and operating systems.

This book will demystify the common components in cars and introduce you to readily available tools and information to help get you started.

By the time youve finished reading the book, youll understand that a car is a collection of connected computersthere just happen to be wheels attached.

Armed with appropriate tooling and information, youll have the confidence to get hacking.

Were all safer when the systems we depend upon are inspectable, auditable, and documentedand this definitely includes cars.
