NAME

cli-games - a Linux terminal that plays games

SYNOPSIS

cli-games [GAME | WORLD | TARGET]

DESCRIPTION

A terminal in the browser with a real filesystem, real pipes, and a few dozen games living inside it.

Board classics, ASCII worlds, and a capture-the-flag program that graduates onto live vulnerable Linux targets.

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.
