Hi, this is the developer of HACKERGAME.

I would like to give you those who are interested in the technical side of the job, unlike this designer guy I don't have fancy words and banners.

We used to use Unity as a game engine but as we continued in the development process, we came across a lot of roadblocks and challenges posed by Unity, this is why we are going to switch to the unpopular way of creating games.

We are going to develop our game based on Electron with React, .Net API with SignalR, Mediator and SQLite.

I know it might sound crazy to do that but some of the biggest challenges were reactivity, styling and maintainability of the code, I wasn't able to deliver applications as they were in designs or I would have to spend a lot more time than I should.
Skill issue I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You might think why .Net though, isn't Electron and React enough but there is a reality that .Net is easier to work with and has more functionality when it comes to connecting local DB and doing other actions with it.

In this way, we are hoping our project will have a much better-looking UI and cleaner code with richer content.
famous last words...

So that's all for this Devlog episode. If you have any questions or suggestions, you can join our Discord[discord.gg]. and let us know. Have a nice day.

I am going to drop some spoilers to show you how much our UI will improve in the next DevLogs.

Regards,
The DEV

Breacher Framework, or BRC for short, is one of the main tools that you will be using in the HACKERGAME to perform cyberattacks. I mostly inspired it from Metasploit Framework[www.metasploit.com] and made it highly simplified. At the current state of BRC, there are two modules. These are;

porthack - Deploys a reverse shell on vulnerable targets.

uploadx - Generates an exploit for file upload vulnerabilities.

I plan to add more modules further into development. The one module I planned to add right now is Remote Desktop Control. We haven't designed or coded it yet. But when it's added, you will be able to connect target computers, see its desktop and control it from the screen. (Hopefully)

For now, let's focus on the existing modules. Starting with 'porthack', if you have played Hacknet -which is our main inspiration to make HACKERGAME- It will sound similar since the name is exactly the same. And it actually does almost the same thing. If you disable enough ports, you can use porthack to infiltrate the target. It's quite simple.

As for the uploadx, not all of the systems are hackable through port hacking. Some have updated security and have no vulnerabilities. So this is where you can try your luck with the File Upload Exploits. For this one, I've inspired from another real life tool called Weevely[www.kali.org].

Using the uploadx module; you can create a reverse shell in '.php' or a '.png.exe', monitor the upload page to obtain the uploaded location on the server and finally, execute the shell. You can check out the screenshot below, it kinda gives an example.
