I am currently writing a hacking software in Python (tkinter) that hacks scripts and looks for wireless devices… But it’s fake!! It only pretends to do stuff and has nice graphics but it’s like those websites that pretend you’re hacking. Would that be nice?? And it’s open source too, so it will not harm anyone.

    Why make it fake? Why not spend time making a port scanner or something that looks for wireless networks and checks for weak credentials instead? Sounds like a better beginner project to me.

    I used to love the interactive ones where it really gives the impression for yourself too that you’re hacking, so if it’s complicated and fake-functional enough it might be something.

    Dunno why anyone would want to downvote this, but here’s back up to 1. 😜

      Looked through the posts and might be the tone and double question marks, but the user is using the communities for the intended purpose and it’s nice seeing someone excited, curious and passionate :)

    Just make sure you make it clear it’s a simulator. While I love to see script kiddie consternation when their ransomware target turns out to be fake, you probably don’t want the real bad guys to use it thinking it’s legitimate. And you don’t want security companies putting you on a bad list because of joke software someone else abused to give a sysadmin a heart attack, either.
