From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You are a captain of a nuclear submarine that is on station somewhere in the depth of the sea. Armed with SLBMs you are responsible for your nations deterrence and lasting peace on earth. When you get the orders to launch a counter strike, strange things happen to your Submarine Command System (SCS), soon you realize that your submarine was hit by a cyber attack. You need to dive and investigate who is responsible and how to restore your ship to full functionality.

Hacked for Nuclear war is a little game written in Bash, that makes you investigate simple logs in search for Indicators of Compromise (IoC) that you get from the MITRE | ATT&CK collection. The submarines attacker, nation, logs and general behaviour of the systems is randomly generated for every play-through, and you will have multiple endings that are triggered through your actions.

This gives me an idea….

Remember lifeline? What if we had something like that where each time you logged in, the MOD would pop up like a voicemail from your contact. You send your response to the station from the CLI and then have to wait another day for a response. Taylor-like penpal from the CLI.
