# HackmeNow - Hacking Simulation Game
A realistic web-based hacking simulation game that follows the story of a cybercriminal who has gained access to a home network via trojan malware. Experience the thrill of ethical hacking through an immersive browser-based interface.
**Pure HTML/CSS/JavaScript version - No server required!**
## 🎮 Game Overview
HackmeNow is an educational cybersecurity simulation that teaches penetration testing concepts through an engaging storyline. Players take on the role of a hacker who has infiltrated a home network and must:
- Monitor network traffic for sensitive information
- Extract credentials from packet captures
- Exploit vulnerabilities in IoT devices
- Perform privilege escalation
- Access security cameras and smart devices
- Execute remote code execution (RCE) attacks
- Steal money from banking accounts
- Maintain stealth and cover tracks
## 🛡️ Educational Purpose
**IMPORTANT**: This is a simulation for educational purposes only. All hacking activities are simulated and do not involve real systems, networks, or data. The game is designed to teach cybersecurity concepts in a safe, controlled environment.
## 🚀 Quick Start
### Option 1: Local Development
```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/Slayingripper/HackmeNow.git
cd HackmeNow
# Start a local web server (Python 3)
python3 -m http.server 8080
# Or use the npm script
npm run serve
```
Visit `http://localhost:8080` to play the game.
### Option 2: Deploy to Web Hosting
1. Run the deployment script:
```bash
./deploy-simple.sh
```

3. **Access your game**
- Visit your domain to play
- No server configuration required!
## 🎮 How to Play
### Getting Started
1. **Boot Sequence**: Watch the realistic hacker terminal boot up
2. **Initial Access**: The trojan has already been deployed - you have access!
3. **Read Objectives**: Check the mission panel on the right for current objectives
4. **Use the Terminal**: Start by typing `help` to see available commands
### Essential Commands
- `help` - Show all available commands
- `nmap 192.168.1.0/24` - Scan the home network
- `wireshark` - Open packet capture tool
- `ls` - List files in current directory
- `cat filename` - View file contents
- `exploit ` - Execute various exploits
- `clear` - Clear terminal screen
### Keyboard Shortcuts
- **Ctrl+Shift+T** - Open/focus Terminal
- **Ctrl+Shift+W** - Open/focus Wireshark
- **Ctrl+Shift+N** - Open/focus Network Monitor
- **Ctrl+Shift+E** - Open/focus File Explorer
- **Escape** - Close active window
### Window Management
- **Drag**: Click and drag window headers to move windows
- **Resize**: Drag the resize handle in the bottom-right corner
- **Controls**: Use the traffic light buttons to close/minimize/maximize
## 🎯 Mission Objectives
### Phase 1: Network Infiltration
