Grey Hack

As a cybersecurity enthusiast I have to say this game has really surprised me. I am by no means a crazy good hacker, or anything to say the least. But with my own experiences in mind, this is probably the most realistic feeling game when it comes to exploitation.

Very advanced, complex, and impressive for a solo dev. I been in IT for many years and I'm still learning new things when I play this game. By far the most accurate and detailed hacking simulation. Great music & UI too. 10/10 keep it up dev

The game is amazing honestly. The terminal sucks though, but I made a mod to fix that :3 Basically its a programming game with hacking as its concept and its VERY addicting.

Its a fun game but can be hard to start off with if you dont have support from a knowledgable friend. I recommend you do some through reading and understanding of general hacks in the included manual. It will be difficult but if you like being challenged you will like it.

What an amazing game, I dont write alot of game reviews but this game is a genius way to teach you about hacking while not holding your hand but in a fun way. I never was able to understand or catch on to coding and writing scripts even after hours of python videos. After playing this game it encourages you to write your own scripts and make your own tools. They have there own programming language greyscript. i eventually understood how real world coding could be used in network security by making tools myself. This carries over to other languages. They are all similar. The devs have put alot of work into making this feel real and feel like your are really using a Linux operating system to hack other systems. Fun game, great community and I look forward to where the devs take this next.

I most definately recommend this game to anyone that loves computers. I know that it is just a game and the tools/exploits are not the same as the real ones but what you learn through this game is a deeper understanding of how systems are connected to accomplish the main goal. Also it helps you understand how code is used to communicate what you want done with which file, in which folder, on which device, via which network, and knowing the basic structure code uses to manipulate those files, folders, devices, and networks effectively. Once you are able to see all of these things clearly you can apply them to real world situations and have fun making money. Im far from a hacker so its possible that I dont know what the h@l! Im talking about. One thing for sure though, if you arent fluent in Linux, this game is a great way to get some practice and muscle memory formed.

Where most hacking games are just puzzle games in disguise, Grey Hack offers you the sandbox and wishes you the best of luck, you're really only limited by your ever growing knowledge and creativity. It teaches you systems thinking and disguises it as a puzzle, which is very much how the hacker mindset works in reality as well. Now I'm not even remotely a cybersecurity expert, I grew up on Windows. I never wrote a functional line of code in my life. Once, as a kid, I blocked my mum's emails by filtering the port to her MAC address on our home router. She immediately assumed I did something (I denied it of course), but it opened my eyes that computers really aren't as stable as we assume. I chose not to persue it because I didn't want to risk losing my 'computer time'. Grey Hack is the safe space to explore this mindset. Which is why I find this game so compelling, you have complete and total freedom to play your way, be the villain and install ransomware on player machines, or carry out the exact same attack pattern but secure them, drop a little note and be on your way. It's purely up to you and how your personal hacker fantasy lives in you. The learning curve is real here, and it takes time, whether you're experienced in cybersec or a total beginner like myself, you need to adapt to the game world either way. The real click for me was learning that I could modify exploits to retarget Mail.txt instead of Bank.txt, so I could socially engineer my way into the network. It's not perfect, and it's not for everyone, and it requires a certain degree of flexibility, passion and curiosity to really get into it. But where that might push you way, what might draw you back in is the fact that it can be played fully at any degree of committment. Whether you choose one of the many extensive player created toolkits, write your own tools from scratch like I do, or just stick with the hackshop exploits, no other game in this genre lets you live the fantasy your way. Bravo Kurouzu, thankyou for bringing my childhood dream to life.

10/10 El juego es tan realista que los tutoriales en youtube son eliminados por "contenido peligroso".
