Your mission: Defend the universe from the h4ck32n4u75 (Hackernauts)™ armada.
Wave 1: Intel indicates that the first wave will include orbital satellite jamming attacks, followed by eavesdropping attacks, and then replay attacks. It is critical to stop the eavesdropping attacks to prevent the h4ck32n4u75 (Hackernauts)™ from obtaining the satellite signals needed to carry out a replay attack.
Wave 2: If you manage to defend against the first wave (2,000 points), you will face on-orbit attacks. This wave begins with kinetic anti-satellite weapons, followed by directed energy weapons, and escalates to on-orbit anomalous space vehicles.
Wave 3: If you defeat the second wave (5,000 points), you will encounter a dreaded supply chain attack. The Hackernauts will deplete valuable minerals required to maintain your armada, introduce insecure hardware, then insecure firmware, and finally insecure software.
Victory Condition: Defeating the Hackernauts in this wave (15,000 points) will earn you the title of Defensive Space Cybersecurity Professional.
