SCADABreach: In Darkness, We Equalize

SCADABreach

In Darkness, We Equalize

A global power grid is failing.
SCADA-controlled power plants are going offline.
A ransomware group has breached critical infrastructure — and the incident is still unfolding.

SCADABreach is a cyber-thriller SOC/CTF simulation where you step directly into an ongoing ransomware incident targeting power plants around the world.
You are not reviewing logs after the fact.
You are responding while systems are actively failing.

You are the last privileged operator still online.

🖥️ What kind of game is this?

SCADABreach blends elements of:

• Incident Response (IR)

• SOC analyst workflows

• CTF-style investigation

• OT / ICS / SCADA security

• Narrative-driven cyber thriller

The entire experience runs inside your browser, using a fully simulated environment — no downloads, no backend, no accounts.

This is not a hacking sandbox.
This is a live incident simulation.

🔐 Key Features

🧑‍💻 Fully Simulated Linux Terminal

Investigate the breach using a realistic terminal environment:

• A complete virtual filesystem (/etc, /var/log, /root, /var/www, /proc)

• Proper file permissions, owners, and privilege boundaries

• Hidden artifacts, leaked credentials, and misconfigurations

• A realistic privilege escalation path based on real-world techniques

🛰️ Global Power Grid Map

• Dozens of power plants across multiple regions

• Dynamic states: Normal, Warning, Critical, Overload

• Cascading failures triggered by your decisions

• Visual feedback showing the real impact of the attack

📧 Integrated Mail System

• Phishing messages

• Internal operator communication

• Threat actor messaging
