How to Play
- The screen is divided into two zones
- Upper Zone: Incoming network traffic (packets flow in from this side) and server health bar.
- Lower Zone: Server firewall.
- Data packets (icons) will move toward the server.
- Each packet is labeled with a traffic type (e.g., “Phishing email,” “User request”).
- Click on the malicious packets to stop them from reaching the server.
- Allow legitimate packets to pass through to the server.
- Each correct block = +10 points
- Each missed malicious packet = -10% server health
- Each false positive = -5 points
