[h1] Information / Review English [/h1] HELLO HACKER is a hacking/puzzle game developed by h3ll0h4ck3r. [h1] Gameplay / Story [/h1] Linux: A free, secure operating system often used on servers and by programmers. Very flexible and stable. Cybersecurity: Protecting computers, networks, and data from attacks, viruses, and data theft. Hacking: Essentially means understanding systems. Ethical hacking is used legally to find and close security gaps. Alex Chen, a security researcher and friend, has disappeared. He left behind an encrypted system and a final message. The further you delve and try to uncover the truth, the more dangerous it becomes, and you yourself become the target. [h1] Pros [/h1] + Linux, hacking, and cybersecurity + Mystery + Appropriate art style + Good controls + Good value for money [h1] Cons [/h1] - Few languages ​​available - Short playtime [h1] Conclusion [/h1] HELLO HACKER combines Linux, hacking, and cybersecurity into one game and offers you a short mystery.

Honestly went into this with not a huge amount of optimism due to low quality games recently in the cyber security space. But surprisingly this has been one of the best experiences so far with this game. I am a cyber security guy with a lot of experience in both blackhat and business cyber security. I can say, minus a few very small things, it is very realistic and teaches network pivoting, which is always a plus. DOES NOT HOLD YOUR HAND!!!! This is the BEST PART as it is really a challenge will continue to play and update my review.

Sick game, took me about 3 hours to completes. Look forward to more! Great CTF style game, with a cool story. Feels pretty real to life too, piecemeal evidence, incomplete context, and systems that must be understood before they can be exploited.

Short and good game, is similar to CTF's from pentesting training sites. A bit annoying with the intrusion detection system, as the mechanic was not very well explained and disconnects you back to your local machine. There were only 2 puzzles that actually stopped me, one was me using "ls" and not "ls -a" meaning I missed some hidden files. The other one was at the start where a password was said to be what makes the company unique. The password was the name of the company, it's not very intuitive

I am into cybersecurity and this game is very realistic and I love it. I am still stuck at a certain point and there is no helping you, but it can gives you a hint. No hand-holding! Highly recommend!
