Overview

Control-Alt-Hack™ is, first and foremost, designed to be an entertaining game. It is not an “educational” game, in that gameplay is not explicitly about - or driven by - learning a concept (e.g., fractions or spelling). As one plays it, however, one will be exposed to important computer security concepts. Consequently, Control-Alt-Hack™ has educational value as well. Please see the other pages for suggestions on how you might use Control-Alt-Hack™ in industry and in education, like kicking off a security brainstorming session or exposing freshmen computer science students to computer security.
