Dev Log: Building the Hack.It Dashboard and Subcomponents

Overview

The Hack.It project aims to provide an engaging and comprehensive experience for users who enjoy hacking simulations. The project includes various components such as a dashboard, task manager, IP scanner, bank account management, and bank login. This dev log will document the development process, highlighting the design and functionality of each component.

Hack.It Dashboard

The Hack.It dashboard serves as the central hub for users, offering quick access to a variety of tools and features. The dashboard includes a navigation bar, a grid of feature cards, and a terminal for logging activities. The navigation bar allows users to easily switch between different sections of the application, while the feature cards provide a visual summary of each tool available, such as the Task Manager, IP Scanner, and Bank. The terminal at the bottom of the dashboard offers a space for users to view their logs and clear them as needed.

Task Manager

The Task Manager is a crucial part of Hack.It, allowing users to manage different types of tasks related to hacking activities. The interface includes tabs for different task categories, such as IP Infiltration, Account Breach, and Data Acquisition. Each category displays a list of tasks with details such as IP addresses, firewall levels, status, and progress. The Task Manager also features a Boosters section, where users can add boosters to enhance their hacking capabilities.

IP Scanner

The IP Scanner tool enables users to scan IP addresses and gather information about their firewall levels. The IP Scanner interface includes a form for entering IP addresses and a table for displaying the scanned results. Each scanned IP address shows its firewall level and provides options to attempt a hack or remove the entry. This tool is designed to help users identify potential targets and plan their hacking strategies.

Bank Account Management

The Bank Account Management component allows users to view and manage their bank accounts within the simulation. The interface includes sections for different types of accounts, such as Everyday and Savings accounts, along with their respective balances. Users can transfer money between accounts and view transaction histories, making it easy to keep track of their financial activities within the game. The transaction history table provides detailed information about deposits, withdrawals, and the resulting balances.

Bank Login

The Bank Login page is the entry point for users to access their bank accounts. The login form requires users to enter their account number and password. This page is designed with a focus on security and user experience, ensuring that users can log in easily and securely.

Design and Styling

The overall design of Hack.It is dark-themed, with a color scheme that emphasizes a hacker aesthetic. The UI components are styled to provide a modern and sleek look, with smooth animations and transitions to enhance the user experience. The use of icons from FontAwesome adds visual appeal and helps users quickly identify different tools and actions.
