Bug Hunter
Control a glitch that infects healthy servers. Grow longer with each infection, but don't crash!
How to Play
• Control the bug to infect healthy servers
• The bug grows longer with each infection
• Avoid crashing into walls or yourself
• Speed increases as you infect more servers
• Unlock achievements as you progress
Real-World Security Lessons
- • Lateral Movement: Like the bug spreading, attackers move through networks after initial breach
- • Rapid Propagation: Malware can quickly spread to vulnerable systems (like WannaCry ransomware)
- • Containment: Early detection and isolation prevent widespread infection
- • Defense in Depth: Multiple security layers slow down attackers (the walls in the game)
- • Monitoring: Track system behavior to detect anomalies before they spread
