ShadowNet
A downloadable game
The truth lies in the shadows of the net. Are you ready to find it?
You are Ghost, a talented yet unknown hacker. Your life changes forever when you receive an encrypted message from CIPHER — one of the world’s most wanted hackers, who has been missing for months. The message is a cry for help and a key to ShadowNet, a secret organization of hackers fighting in the shadows against the growing threat of PROMETHEUS — an uncontrollable AI created by a global tech corporation that is now beginning to infiltrate the digital world.
Recruited by CIPHER’s mysterious contact ECHO, you must solve the mystery behind CIPHER’s disappearance and stop PROMETHEUS before it’s too late. Your only weapon: a Kali Linux terminal and your mind.
Become the Hacker
ShadowNet is an immersive hacking simulation that throws you into a deep cyberpunk story filled with intrigue, secrets, and digital warfare. From a realistic Kali Linux terminal, you infiltrate servers, crack firewalls, manipulate data, and uncover a conspiracy that threatens the very foundations of digital society.
Use real Linux commands and a wide range of hacking tools to achieve your objectives. Each mission brings you closer to the truth — but also deeper into the crosshairs of PROMETHEUS and its creators. Think like a hacker, stay clever, and leave no trace.
FEATURES
Realistic Hacking Experience
Use over 50 authentic commands and tools inspired by the real world — from nmap and ssh to sqlmap and hydra, as well as fictional yet believable ShadowNet programs. Learn how to scan networks, exploit vulnerabilities, and crack passwords.
Deep Cyberpunk Story
Experience a gripping narrative across 6 chapters, taking you from your first small hack to an epic showdown against an overwhelming AI. Interact with characters like the mysterious ECHO and the legendary CIPHER, and unravel a web of lies and conspiracies.
Authentic Kali Linux GUI
Work within a detailed graphical interface modeled after a real Kali Linux desktop. Your workspace includes a fully functional terminal, a file manager, a visual network map, a mission panel, and an encrypted chat.
Progressive Difficulty
Start as a beginner and evolve into a master hacker. The game introduces mechanics step by step and increases the challenge with every mission. Later tasks require multi-stage attacks, clever problem-solving, and quick reactions under time pressure.
Trace System & Anonymity
Every action can leave a trace. If you become careless, your trace level rises and the mission fails. Use tools like vpn, proxy_chain, and tor to conceal your identity and stay one step ahead of those hunting you.
