"[My kids] may or may well not choose information security as a field they go into, " a security expert known simply as Grecs, who started the project after being inspired by Knitter, said in a discuss last year. "However, the whole philosophy is to introduce them to basic security concepts at a young age so whatever field they go into, they're more security oriented, more security aware. "

The project was influenced by Ender's Game, the popular science fiction novel by which kids were taught about war through games. It is a little less brutal, far more cheesy, and plenty of fun, but the ideas make sound judgment all the same.

Pwn: Combat Hacking is a fast paced real-time strategy game from 2013. Players aim to take over nodes from competition in what amounts to a mix between chess and "3d espasmo tac toe, " as Grecs calls it. Equipment like viruses, encryption, backdoors, trojans, and firewalls liven the game up and add the necessary hacker taste to make this a good summary of the world.

CryptoClub, created by scholars at the University of Illinois, is perhaps the most direct and useful teaching tool because it dives into real cryptography problems.

Hackers & Agents is surely an Uno-style card game with a large helping of hacker ideas, allowing players to learn about tools, like rootkits and SQL injections.

Hacker is a classic 1990s card game depending on a real-life Oughout. S. Secret Service rezzou of Steven Jackson Video games associated with Jackson's Illuminati online bulletin board from the 1980s that ran a variety of early hacking games.
