V0.3 Release - Cross-OS and Sandbox mode, and V0.4 (On hold)

Cipher's Gambit
A downloadable game for Windows

V0.3 Release:

New story missions are out, aswell as new exploits and a new module type (auxiliary). Aux modules are used more to gather data remotely from a target than to attack of exfiltrate data.

(Attempted) Linux release. I released my source, so hopefully linux users can run the game natively (the more players to find bugs, the merrier!), I think this should also work for MAC users aswell, so thanks to thePalindrome for giving me a reason to support linux!

Some QOL , realism and patches:

  • Nmap can now subnet scan public routers
  • Handler only accepts valid port numbers (1-65535) - Fixed allowing non-numbers and out of range
  • Adding a handler to a device opens the port
  • Sessions route updated to allow public connections
  • Exploits can now use a session as a proxy/route, allowing closed subnets to be hacked
  • The window name will now change dependant on gamemode, username and commands run, to make the game feel more alive
  • Post exploits now check if they should run for any device before checking os-dependant things (No more HashDump not running)
  • New exploits (FTP) unlock it via the story, or use it in the sandbox mode
Sandbox Mode:

Run world creating commands like /router to get more targets to hack, and abuse /vulnerable to check if you can hack specific devices.

Run any module you want, without having to run through the story.

No story (so you can mess around faster)


Known Bugs:

I am aware that session routes are messed up, I'm working on it!


V0.4 Development:

I'm currently working on another project for a while, so i'm unsure what's going to happen with 0.4, however i plan to fix any bugs found by players and myself, add more story missions and allow users to skip the into dialogue for story and tutorial text!


With all that being said, I hope you enjoy V0.3!
