Hacker simulators?

[kingpinzs]

Does any one know were to get hacker simulators or hacker games that are not online type games

[linuxcomando]

Sure, install linux and start programming :)
Hax0r away at you kernel. :)
Got to start somewhere why not use linux? :)

here (http://www.google.com) I soppose. and here (http://www.google.com/search?q=hacking+simulator&sourceid=op) and

but I'm agree with linuxcomando

Go to happyhacker they have very easy games there but those are mostly browser games. There are several wargames & simulations out there, you just have to look for them. I seen a game called uplink a few days back that looked like it might be funny.

Uplink, very cool game! And it is not expencive either! Though it lacks a bit on the realistic side! :)

Linux is the best os,stable,fast...and the hacking os but what dose it mean to hack at your kernel... i been using mandrake linux for a 3 weeks....whats it mean?

[dev_ocean]

hack ur os 'll u know it upto kernel level :-)

[Black-Mage21]

What is kernel/kernel level?
i have never used lunix...i still use windows...

Wow, I'm the first person to jump all over this question.

A Kernal is the core of your operating system. When you're using linux, you can recompile the OS at pretty much any time you want to, and make changes to the very lowest level functions the OS uses. This is why linux is so powerful: It's configurable in a bazillion ways, and all you need is time. I'm sure any search engine can point you toward some links that will give you a more in-depth look at kernal configuration.

There are no good hackers simulators. I believe there was a game made by some company and I saw my friend play it. All I can tell you is that it was not realistic and that it sucked major time. The best thing you can do is just practice your skills by playing wargames.

gamemaster6502: You mus think about Uplink! And you are right, it is not realistic! But the feel of the game is great!

To hack away on your kernel means to study it and learn how it works! That is the very nature of haxoring! :)

[xamurai79]

what you also can do is go buy the book hack attacks revealed (http://www.tigertools.net) it comes with a CD-ROM which has a simulator...and furthermore this is a very good book to learn about computers, networking, programming, etc. And I agree on the comment about joining some wargames...And the world isn't all Linux, try NT or Novell as well

I was reading all teh posta on this , and was wondering what a hacker simulator was.. and what was the point of having one? :confused:

[Unl3Ashed]

Later_Gator > Hacker simulator or games ( although I haven't test any of them ) is kinda software wich you can use to test your security knowlage or playing some security risks on them instead of going and playing with some .gov sites which will get you into trubble ;)
Like soccer games wich you can play it in a real world or in computer.

Do anyone know how to go about building a wargame box or drill box?

[kingpinzs]

I have the game uplink and i also have a really good hack sim called hls which is really good.

So what whould be good in a hack simulator. I know that most people think you should use unix or one of its copys to hack or practice with but i want to use windows to hack with because i dont hear any one using it so that is what i want to do but i want to start with a simulator first.

spivkid> All you need to do is set up a *nix machine with a fair amount of security, and tell someone the IP. And then let them haxor away :)

Kernel is...

...the main part (often say.. core) of operating system which resides in primary memory (RAM) till the system is switched off. It performs basic operation like memory management, CPU scheduling, I/O scheduling. The other part is called whenever required by the OS.

Whoever came up with that "system" of wargames is a genious, IMO. Just the other day I had been talking with my cousin saying that there should be a designated computer system to where you hack into to test you skills, etc.
