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.4 found this helpful
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.2 found this helpful
im having a good time with it so far! im a beginner and keep getting stuck but making progress. for 6 bucks, its a good relaxing time.2 found this helpful
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 intuitive1 found this helpful
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!
