I hooked up a CAN capture device and decoded the packets to see what was in there.

Nice to see someone else playing around with CAN. One thing that I've noticed is a bit of a problem is dealing with the CAN message structures. It's hard to share this information in a format that people can easily use.

Vector has CANDB++, which is a proprietary (but ASCII) based format. It's the closest thing to a standard. It'd be nice to see more tools support working with CAN data so we can share results of CAN bus reverse engineering.
