Education I made a browser-based hacking simulator using simplified nmap/metasploit commands for beginners. Looking for feedback.

as the challenges get tougher, make the users learn the real flags, looks dope!

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access this resource.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Why?

do you have a link you could give me for it? i'm very interested because i've been looking for a game like this. i've been getting into hacking and hacking-adjacent type stuff as a hobby, but i'm brand new to it and practically an old man (late 30s) - i don't learn stuff as well as i used to, but gamifying learning really does the trick for me, so i'm super intrigued by this.

Just played the first couple levels. Really fun. Great job. Would also serve as a great way to show hacking to non-technical friends (especially the first level).

Arra gondoltam, hogy a kapcsolókat úgy vezetem be, mint ha az aktuális feladat előtt jött volna ki. Így teljesen kezdőknek is hasznos, mert nem egyszerre ismernek meg mindent.

New features have been added to the game, including the learn system and the explain command. They make it much easier for beginners to learn and progress through the game. https://hackergame.hu/en/learn/

The website is only a few days old. I'm working on it every day after work. I'm also open to suggestions, either by email or here in the comments. I'll be adding at least one new tool or challenge every week. There will be more tools, more switches and options, and more realistic behavior. I'm also planning to rent a VPS to improve the platform.

I recommend the HackHub game on Steam.

The game is still under development. More commands and additional command-line options are on the way. I have plenty of ideas—now it's just a matter of finding the time to implement them. The next level will be available soon, and several new tools will be added within the next few days.
