I built a browser-based multiplayer hacking sim — here's how the Red vs Blue system works

Why I Built This

Every cybersecurity course teaches you how attacks work. Nobody teaches you what it FEELS like to get hit.

So I built a game where you find out the hard way.

Pick Your Side

💀 Black Hat — You're the threat actor. Build a botnet, hack nodes, steal coins, wipe evidence, disappear.

🛡️ White Hat — You're the defender. Block attackers, patch vulnerabilities, run incident reports, protect your
node.

Both sides are playing against REAL people. Not bots. Not NPCs. Actual humans trying to ruin your day.

What Happens When You Get Attacked

Your node gets hit. You log in. Your SOC report shows:
[03-19 22:14] merlin777k attacked your node MITRE T1110: Brute Force
Severity: CRITICAL
Status: UNDER THREAT

Real attacker. Real timestamp. Now what are you going to do about it?

The Current State of War

Right now on the network:

  • 👑 nikko48 — Level 14, 252,000 XP, untouchable
  • 💀 merlin777k — Level 14, Black Hat, hunting everyone
  • 🛡️ orrnatonton — Level 5, White Hat, trying to survive

The Black Hats are winning. We need more defenders.

Come Play

Free. No download. Just a browser.

👉 ghost-net.org

Make a White Hat account and defend IP 10.195.87.88 — that's my node. I dare you. 😈
