Abstract: Automobile makers have long enjoyed the advantages of integrated computer systems inside of the automobile.  Unlike most computers, these systems have been allowed to run without the constant barrage of hacker attacks. As the automotive industry begins to incorporate wireless technology into their automotive lines, everyday vehicles may soon become the new target of hackers.  Our project is aimed at researching the risks and vulnerabilities of pursuing this type of technology within an automobile.
