Hacker for 2 minutes

Overview

Hacker for 2 minutes is a fast-paced typing game where you act as a hacker, completing missions by typing real terminal commands under a strict 2-minute timer. Erase traces, exfiltrate data, and outsmart security—all in a realistic terminal interface. Ideal for fans of hacking, terminals, and skill-based challenges.

Gameplay

Tip: before starting the game, you can freely explore and use the terminal as you wish

You have 2 minutes to complete a series of hacking tasks by typing terminal commands as quickly and accurately as possible. The timer resets for each new scenario—every level is a fresh race against the clock. Each scenario presents a unique mission:

Scenario Progression

1. Corporate Data Heist (Easy)
   • Infiltrate a corporate server, steal sensitive data, and erase all evidence.
   • Example commands: whoami && pwd, ls -la /opt/secure, history -c && rm /tmp/exfil.dat
2. Network Pivot & Persistence (Medium)
   • Map the internal network, identify high-value targets, and establish persistent backdoors.
   • Example commands: nmap -sn 10.0.47.0/24, ssh-keygen -t rsa -f /tmp/.ssh_key -N "", crontab -l > /tmp/cron_backup && ...
3. Ghost Protocol: Advanced Cleanup (Hard)
   • Execute sophisticated anti-forensics techniques to eliminate all evidence of your cyber operations.
   • Example commands: find /var/log -name "*.log" -exec shred -vfz -n 3 {} \;, history -c && history -w && rm ~/.bash_history, sync && echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches && swapoff -a && swapon -a

Each scenario is guided by mysterious ph4nt0m and features a some kind of storyline. Complete all scenarios to become a true digital ghost.
