Project Overview
Overview
The Cyber War Games Platform is a competitive learning environment designed for cybersecurity professionals and students. It provides a hands-on experience where participants can test and enhance their cybersecurity skills in real-world scenarios. The platform fosters a gamified approach to cybersecurity training, allowing users to engage in offensive and defensive challenges that simulate real cyber threats.
Features
- Capture the Flag (CTF) Challenges – Players solve cybersecurity puzzles ranging from cryptography to network exploitation.
- Virtualized Cyber Labs – Deploy and configure vulnerable machines for testing exploits.
- Leaderboard & Scoring System – Track participant performance and encourage healthy competition.
- Scenario-Based Learning – Simulated cyber incidents for hands-on experience.
- Automated Environment Deployment – Virtual machines (VMs) provisioned dynamically via OpenStack.
- Multi-User Collaboration – Teams can work together to solve challenges.
- Real-Time Monitoring & Logging – Security logs and attack analytics for analysis.
Tech Stack
- Cloud & Virtualization: OpenStack for dynamic VM provisioning.
- Backend: Python (Flask/Django), Node.js.
- Frontend: React.js, HTML, CSS, Bootstrap.
- Database: PostgreSQL, MongoDB.
- Security Tools: Metasploit, Wireshark, Snort, Burp Suite.
- Containerization: Docker & Kubernetes (if applicable).
- Authentication & Security: OAuth2, JWT, Role-Based Access Control (RBAC).
Impact
- Skill Development: Helps participants gain hands-on experience with real cybersecurity threats.
- Workforce Readiness: Prepares students and professionals for industry certifications (e.g., CEH, OSCP).
- Cyber Resilience: Enhances organizational defense strategies through practical simulations.
- Community Building: Encourages collaboration and knowledge-sharing in the cybersecurity field.
- Automated Cybersecurity Training: Reduces manual setup efforts and provides scalable training environments.
