OverTheWire: Bandit

Recommended Ages

Best for high school and college-level learners who are comfortable using a command line and want a beginner-friendly introduction to Linux and security concepts. 

OverTheWire: Bandit is a free online command-line “wargame” that introduces learners to Linux, SSH, and basic cybersecurity concepts through a series of short levels. Created by security enthusiasts to teach practical skills in a playful way, each level presents a small puzzle that requires using a new command or technique. Older teens curious about ethical hacking or system administration can learn by doing, with plenty of online write-ups available if they get stuck. Parents appreciate that it’s text-based rather than flashy and that it encourages persistence and problem solving, all at no monetary cost.

Bandit is a free online wargame hosted by OverTheWire; there is no cost to play or progress through the levels.
