// 04 / Play
Play.
Security minigames. Break things on purpose for once.
- /play/cipher
Daily Cipher
A new encrypted word every day. Break the Caesar, Vigenère, substitution or XOR cipher with the workbench, then guess the word in six tries. Harder every day of the week.
- /play/packets
Packet Defender
Space Invaders for your server. Hold off SYN floods, phishing emails and malware with rate limits, a WAF and a load balancer — before uptime hits zero.
- /play/patch
Patch Panic
Whack-a-mole for sysadmins. Vulnerabilities pop up across your server rack — patch them before they turn red, contain the breaches, and don't touch anything in a change freeze.
- /play/lockpick
Lockpicking
A pin-tumbler simulation you play by feel: set the tension, find the binding pin, wait for the click. Five locks, from a padlock to high-security with spool pins.
