Overthewire is a website which offer wargames that help you learn and practice security concepts in the form of fun-filled games
My first game is Bandit .
What special about this Game?
These game teach you basic Linux terminal usage and tricks ( using commands in a way you never even imagine ) and the best part is more you play more you learn
Whether it is easy or hard to solve a challenge?
To be honest,It is hard and makes you think out of the box but at the end you will fell i learned something cool.
Does this help me with Daily chores?
Yes, knowing few tricks in command line can save tons of your time. let me give a example
you need to remove the duplicate line in Log file or find occurrence of line which can be done using single linux command. That's the power of command line apps.
Anything else i can do with learned knowledge?
You can do lot. if you play lot of challenge you can improve your coding,thinking and how to approach problem.If you think , you are smart enough then participate in real time CTF challenge.you got more points then you can earn money and prizes
It's a Win-Win
you can learn new stuff and make money
you can make career in cyber security ( if you are work delicately )
Categories in challenge?
There are few categories in challenge
Alright The game is awesome what's next?
I am very much interested to learn technology in a way through fun and challenge.Next i like to try other games such as Natas (Basic Websecurity challenge),Leviathan and lot more
