So, you’ve heard of Hacktivism and want to test your mettle? Without risking prolonged imprisonment? Well, step right up and check out Hacknet, a real life hacking simulator. It uses real terminals where you get to input REAL UNIX commands…
Their promotional material has me hooked already:
Dive down a rabbit hoIe as you follow the instructions of a recently deceased hacker, whose death may not have been the accident the media reports. Using old school command prompts and real hacking processes, you’ll solve the mystery with minimal hand-holding and a rich world full of secrets to explore.
Bit, a hacker responsible for creating the most invasive security system on the planet, is dead. When he fails to reconnect to his system for 14 days, his failsafe kicks in, sending instructions in automated emails to a lone user. As that user, it’s up to you to unravel the mystery and ensure that Hacknet-OS doesn’t fall into the wrong hands.
Exploring the volatile nature of personal privacy, the prevalence of corporate greed, and the hidden powers of hackers on the internet, Hacknet delivers a true hacking simulation, while offering a support system that allows total beginners get a grasp of the real-world applications and commands found throughout the game.

Dumb? Why? Because I did not know that a software allows me to use Windows software in Linux or to have migrated to Linux?
I apologize for not knowing everything about computers and software. And excuse me for not appreciate being watched by Microsoft …
