Do you love the sight from a movie where a masked man sitting in a dark keep hitting the keys on the keyboard and eventually ends up hacking certain organizations’ databases?
So, you also want to do that in real life but not sure about how you are going to get your hands-on hacking because Hacking is something that is seen as an illegal practice.
So, the developers come up with the idea of “Hacking Simulator” that solves all the problems related to legitimacy while practicing hacking in real life.
Hacking Simulator can be used by the people who are just practicing hacking for fun and by the professional hackers too for continuously practicing and upgrading their skills.

Hacking Simulator Game:
Various hacking simulator games serve as a great platform for users to practice their hacking skills with fun. It is also legal to hack in these games. So it serves as a legal way to practice hacking.
The following are the three best hacking games you can try.
1. Street Hacker
Street Hacker is a hacking simulator game developed by VirtuWeb Interactive and is provided with such a UI that it appears much like a Linux/OS shell providing a real hacking environment feeling to the users.
It provides a DOS command prompt to perform hacking. You will find various familiar commands such as WHOIS, CONNECT while playing the game. It is heavily a mission-driven game.
In it being a player, you have to assume the role of a hacker with a great analytical mind and good intuition. You are approached by a guy Demetrius Mordecai who is a crude executive and entrepreneur.
He hires you as a hacker to do his dirty jobs. Having no money at disposal, you have to accept his offer. Demetrius has a lot of enemies against whom you have to launch the cyber-attacks.
In the first few attacks, you have to disrupt the corporations by attacking their servers. Once you complete these missions, Demetrius himself tips the FBI about you and you are imprisoned by them for 4 years.
Then once you are freed from prison you seek revenge and the journey continues. It has an amazing storyline that will drag you totally in completing these missions.
It is very effective for students as it focuses on the actual form of hacking such as viruses, worms, trojans, and malware. The user is assigned with various programs to perform various missions assigned to them.
“Infiltration” is one of the features of the game in which the user must infiltrate a building for hacking internet access. After hacking the internet access user can accomplish other missions assigned to them.
2. Hack ‘n’ Slash
Hack ‘n’ Slash is a Hacking Simulator video game developed back in 2012. In this game, players are provided with the simulated Hacking platform. Players have to use in-game weapons and objects for hacking ultimately resulting in winning the game.
When you start playing the game, you need to operate the character of Alice. It is armed with “USB sword“. This USB sword can interact with all the game objects.
These game objects include weapons, obstacles, and enemies that have a USB port. Then a player can use their hacking skills for hacking into Alice’s variables.
These variables include “Alice’s Name” or “Health Points“. If objects don’t have USB ports, then the player can’t interact with them directly. Instead, they have to pause the execution of code. This lets them hack the object’s code temporarily.
A player can also use “Debugging Interface“. In Debugging Interface, a player can see elements of the code behind the objects. Although the player can’t hack the code in debug mode, it can be used to achieve goals.
3. Hacknet
It is a modern age hacking simulator video game released in 2015. It is designed such that it completely simulates the internal network of the game. Its UI is also designed such that you will feel as if you are a Hacker, hacking into a system.
In this game, a player will be simulated with the Unix- like an operating system. It contains two large interfaces, one is “a graphical display” and the other is “Unix terminal“.
Devices in the game simulate a file system quite similar to the Unix operating system. With the help of the filesystem, the player can enter into the system to view the contents.
A player can even disrupt the system files just like any hacker would do to any organization he is attacking.
The main idea of the game is to let the player try to connect to other computers to run dedicated programs. It assists in breaking the security of the system and gain the “Superuser” privileges.
For this, the player has to scan for the security provided to the computer to analyze the flaws in it. Once the flaws are detected, the player can run the relevant program to bypass the security and break into the system.
Faking Hacking Simulator:
There are also various simulators available which you can use to fake the hacking. These displays a fake UI of hacking and aims at simulating mostly the password cracking.
Following are some Fake hacking Simulator.
1. GeekPrank Hacker Typer:
It is one of the best hacking simulators that provide the great User interface which makes it look like exactly a real-life hacking situation.
Its UI looks damn promising, but it is not used for hacking the real-life systems. It is used just for pranking others as if you are hacking.
It provides various options to prank the hacking which are as follows:
- Bitcoin Miner
- Password Cracker
- Remote Connection
- Interpol Database
- Headquarter Surveillance
- Nuclear Plant
- Secret Deals
- Program Console
Suppose you select a password cracker option, it will display the target system IP address and the database name.
When you click on the crack option, it will start trying alternate combinations of words and finally, end up retrieving the correct password. In the end, it will display a message as
SUCCESS: Admin Password found @ 23.86.111.0
2. Brute Force hacking Simulator- CodePen:
It is another fake hacking simulator, simulating a brute force attack. This simulator is provided by codepen which is well known for providing a social development environment for front end developers.
When you open the brute-force hacking simulator it shows you a message that you have already got access to the mainframe by a double handshake attack on the firewall.
Now all you need is to run a Brute-force attack against the mainframe computer to enter the system.
So, it displays a button on which you will see a message “Start Hacking”. Once you click on it, it will start simulating the password cracking environment. As you click any key on the keyboard it will get the first character.
As you keep on clicking the keys, it will ultimately decode all the characters successively resulting in getting the correct password and displaying the message, “ACCESS GRANTED!“.
You can also see the code of this hacking simulator either in HTML, SCSS or JS.
It contains the pre-loaded list of passwords which are:
· PASSWORD123
· QWERTYUIOP
· ADMIN2015
· TRUSTNO1
· LETMEIN6969
So, it will always crack the password to any of the above-listed passwords.
