Project Description
AI-orchestrated cybersecurity training through gamified digital forensics challenges - CLI Treasure Hunt is an innovative game where AI agents create and solve multi-step digital puzzles hidden across various file types and data sources. Players develop critical skills in log analysis, steganography detection, pattern recognition, and forensic investigation - all while having fun!
Using Gemini CLI coordination, the system generates realistic treasure hunts with 5 hidden 4-letter words embedded in logs, databases, images, source code, and network
protocols. Each challenge mirrors real-world SOC analyst scenarios - from timestamp forensics to metadata extraction. With 30 distinct challenge subtypes ensuring infinite
replayability, players master professional investigation techniques through hands-on CLI tool usage. Perfect for cybersecurity training, reducing traditional classroom time
by 70% while building practical skills immediately applicable to incident response and digital forensics roles.
