I am currently writing a hacking software in Python (tkinter) that hacks scripts and looks for wireless devices… But it’s fake!! It only pretends to do stuff and has nice graphics but it’s like those websites that pretend you’re hacking. Would that be nice?? And it’s open source too, so it will not harm anyone.
Doing a “hack simulator” would likely be easier in other languages, so you will hopefully run into some problems regarding acquiring and presenting the information, which I imagine would give you a decent understanding of the flow of data in python.
I’d say “Go for it”, doesn’t sound too advanced and not “hello world”-simple either.
I used to love the interactive ones where it really gives the impression for yourself too that you’re hacking, so if it’s complicated and fake-functional enough it might be something.
Dunno why anyone would want to downvote this, but here’s back up to 1. 😜
Looked through the posts and might be the tone and double question marks, but the user is using the communities for the intended purpose and it’s nice seeing someone excited, curious and passionate :)
Just make sure you make it clear it’s a simulator. While I love to see script kiddie consternation when their ransomware target turns out to be fake, you probably don’t want the real bad guys to use it thinking it’s legitimate. And you don’t want security companies putting you on a bad list because of joke software someone else abused to give a sysadmin a heart attack, either.
Have you heard of Bitburner?
That game looks really nice, hadn’t heard of it :)
To make it more educational make it interact with the system and the user . For example I would have the program to show a list of real files from the os and prompt the hacker to delete it or not.
