About
H3LL0 H4CK3R throws you in with nothing but a terminal and your wits (and a hint system for those that need it). No hand-holding. No tutorials written by people who've never seen a command line. Just you, the machine, and a network that's begging to be compromised.
Crack systems. Cover your tracks. Build your legend—or get traced and burned.
This isn't a game about hacking. This is hacking.
WARNING! - HELLO HACKER will challenge you to be curious and to read and pay attention to everything. You never know what will be a clue that you need later. You will experience a realistic Linux terminal, with real commands. Careful, you may learn something. If you are interested in Linux, cybersecurity or CTF's like TryHackMe, then this game is for you. Use hints when you get stuck, but be careful... they may cost you with your place on the global leaderboard.
Alex Chen, a security researcher and your friend, is missing. Before going missing, Alex
left you an encrypted system with one final message: "Find the breadcrumbs. Expose the truth."
Now it's your turn to finish what Alex started - but be warned: once you discover the truth, you become the next
target.

Use real Unix commands and cybersecurity techniques to:
- Scan networks with nmap to discover hidden servers
- Crack passwords using wordlists and pattern analysis
- Decrypt files with cryptographic tools (base64, hex, XOR ciphers)
- Query databases to extract sensitive information
- Use SSH to gain unauthorized access
- Chain discoveries - each server contains clues to infiltrate the next

✓ 10 interconnected servers across corporate and government networks
✓ Realistic command-line interface with 10+ Unix commands
✓ Multiple password discovery methods - dictionary attacks, decryption, database queries
✓ Network reconnaissance with CIDR scanning and port scanning
✓ Progressive story told through emails, logs, and documents
✓ Cryptography puzzles requiring decoding and cipher-breaking
✓ No combat, pure problem-solving - use your brain, not bullets
Uncover the dark truth about PROJECT NIGHTFALL:
23 people are already dead. Journalists. Activists. Whistleblowers. Anyone who got too close.
Your mission: infiltrate the vault, collect the evidence, and expose the conspiracy to the world before they

[h1] Information / Review English [/h1] HELLO HACKER is a hacking/puzzle game developed by h3ll0h4ck3r. [h1] Gameplay / Story [/h1] Linux: A free, secure operating system often used on servers and by programmers. Very flexible and stable. Cybersecurity: Protecting computers, networks, and data from attacks, viruses, and data theft. Hacking: Essentially means understanding systems. Ethical hacking is used legally to find and close security gaps. Alex Chen, a security researcher and friend, has disappeared. He left behind an encrypted system and a final message. The further you delve and try to uncover the truth, the more dangerous it becomes, and you yourself become the target. [h1] Pros [/h1] + Linux, hacking, and cybersecurity + Mystery + Appropriate art style + Good controls + Good value for money [h1] Cons [/h1] - Few languages available - Short playtime [h1] Conclusion [/h1] HELLO HACKER combines Linux, hacking, and cybersecurity into one game and offers you a short mystery. [h1][url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/26335619-Adult-World-Gamers/] First of all, many thanks to the developer who provided us with this key for the group. You can find more positive reviews from others and myself here, and if you liked the review, we would appreciate a thumbs up. [/url][/h1] [h1] Information / Review Deutsch [/h1] HELLO HACKER ist ein Hacking/Rätselspiel, welches von h3ll0h4ck3r entwickelt wurde. [h1] Gameplay / Geschichte [/h1] Linux: Ein freies, sicheres Betriebssystem, das oft auf Servern und von Programmierern genutzt wird. Sehr flexibel und stabil. Cybersicherheit: Schutz von Computern, Netzwerken und Daten vor Angriffen, Viren und Datenklau. Hacking: Bedeutet eigentlich, Systeme zu verstehen. Ethisches Hacking wird legal genutzt, um Sicherheitslücken zu finden und zu schließen. Alex Chen, Sicherheitsforscher und Freund, ist verschwunden. Er hinterließ ein verschlüsseltes System und eine letzte Nachricht. So weiter zu eindringst und versuchst an die Wahrheit zu kommen, desto gefährlicher wird es und du wist selbst zum Ziel. [h1] Pro [/h1] + Linux, Hacking und Cybersicherheit + Krimi + passender Grafikstil + gute Steuerung + passendes Preis/Leistungsverhältnis [h1] Kontra [/h1] - wenige Sprachen sind verfügbar - kurze Spielzeit [h1] Fazit [/h1] HELLO HACKER kombiniert Linux, Hacking und Cybersicherheit zu einem und bietet dir einen kurzen Krimifall.

Bought this game today. Learning to be a cyber security specialist in some field. 50 minutes in and so far having a blast. The game does not hold you hand but leaves genuine puzzles to figure out. Absolutely love it so for. Thanks for this game.
If you are into Linux, hacking or cybersecurity then you will enjoy this game. The commands and terminal experience are realistic and the hint system helps when you get stuck. Overall it is both fun and educational so far. No game music so maybe throw on some lo-fi music of your own while you zone out.
Honestly went into this with not a huge amount of optimism due to low quality games recently in the cyber security space. But surprisingly this has been one of the best experiences so far with this game. I am a cyber security guy with a lot of experience in both blackhat and business cyber security. I can say, minus a few very small things, it is very realistic and teaches network pivoting, which is always a plus. DOES NOT HOLD YOUR HAND!!!! This is the BEST PART as it is really a challenge will continue to play and update my review.
Sick game, took me about 3 hours to completes. Look forward to more! Great CTF style game, with a cool story. Feels pretty real to life too, piecemeal evidence, incomplete context, and systems that must be understood before they can be exploited.
im having a good time with it so far! im a beginner and keep getting stuck but making progress. for 6 bucks, its a good relaxing time.
Short and good game, is similar to CTF's from pentesting training sites. A bit annoying with the intrusion detection system, as the mechanic was not very well explained and disconnects you back to your local machine. There were only 2 puzzles that actually stopped me, one was me using "ls" and not "ls -a" meaning I missed some hidden files. The other one was at the start where a password was said to be what makes the company unique. The password was the name of the company, it's not very intuitive
I am into cybersecurity and this game is very realistic and I love it. I am still stuck at a certain point and there is no helping you, but it can gives you a hint. No hand-holding! Highly recommend!
