Last time I did some cold storage I used bitaddress.org.

I've been messing around with manually hashing in Ubuntu terminal and was wondering if I could create a private key manually, then create public key and finally Bitcoin address.

Is it possible using basic hashing functions, or would I need to download a script?

According to the page https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Technical_background_of_version_1_Bitcoin_addresses, you can convert a private key to bitcoin address in those 9 steps, but it looks very complicated...

Oh, it looks a bit more complicated than I'm comfortable with. I'm not sure about using ECDSA.

Is there a well known/proven script that can do the same?

The best known one IMO is the bitaddress you used.
You can enter your private key on the "Wallet Details" tab and get the address instantly. But of course, you should run it offline. Smiley
