NAME

cli-games - a social gaming ecosystem modeled after Linux

SYNOPSIS

cli-games [GAME | WORLD | TARGET]

DESCRIPTION

Terminal games, ASCII worlds, and cybersecurity challenges share a home in your browser.

Practice Bash scripting, files, pipes, and permissions: skills you can use on real Linux systems.

Keep tools in your workspace, compare results, and connect with other players.

Nothing to install, and no account needed to play.

BUGS

Plenty. The deliberately vulnerable ones are the product.

Practice, then compete

CTF training runs in the open: a skill map from your first ls to packet forensics, played in the same terminal as everything else.

The Range is where it stops being practice. A live vulnerable Linux target is built for you alone - real services, real misconfigurations, no simulated output. Break in, or watch someone who can.
