The Premise
Two seats. One battlefield.
Rival factions are coming for the world's infrastructure. You decide which chair you sit in.
The Attacker
Run the Op
Recon, exploit, escalate, persist, exfil. Drop into provisioned Kali workstations with the full arsenal — 300+ real tools, real CVEs, real shells. Capture flags, claim countries, push your faction up the global leaderboard.
- Recon → Exploit → Post-Ex — every action mapped to a MITRE ATT&CK technique
- Real CVE database matched against every target
- Coordinated team raids on banks, grids, telecoms, gov endpoints
- Revenge contracts — track down the operator who took you out
The Defender
Hold the Line
Stand up WAFs, IDS rules, honeypots, and SIEM correlation. Read the SOC feed in real time and play counter-cards as the breach unfolds. Block the brute force, contain the lateral movement, kill the persistence — before the flag walks out the door.
- Card-based incident response — counter live attacks turn-by-turn
- WAF, IDS, honeypot & SIEM tooling baked into every defended node
- Defense windows — fortify before sieges, hold during raids
- Country guardianship — defend the territories your faction has claimed
Adversaries
The Factions Aren't Sleeping.
Rival threat-actor groups are hunting the same infrastructure you are. Pick a side, run the playbook, dominate the season.
Nation-State APT
Crimson Daemon
Patient, persistent, deep-pocketed. Specialise in zero-day chains and grid sabotage.
Cyber-Cartel
Null Syndicate
Ransomware-for-hire collective. Hit banking and healthcare for the highest bounties.
