$ ssh level00@cwm
Terminal Wargame
Twenty levels of real Linux skills in a safe, simulated shell. Read files, hunt with find and grep, fix permissions, decode data. Each level hides the password for the next one.
Educational simulation: nothing runs on a real system. Practise only on machines you own or are authorised to use. See Terms.
Up and down arrows recall commands, Tab completes names, Control L clears the screen.
How it works
- Find the password. Every level hides a 32 character password somewhere in its files. Paste it below the terminal to unlock the next level.
- Use real commands. The shell supports pipes, quotes, backslash escapes, * and ? wildcards, 2>/dev/null and Linux style permissions.
- Hints cost points. Each level is worth 100 points. Opening the hint before you solve it costs 25.
- Saved on this device. Progress lives in your browser storage. Nothing is sent to a server.
