Day 7 of building HackMeNow, my terminal-style hacking puzzle game.

I’m back after a few days away, and today I’m starting Level 3.

This is where the game begins moving from early coffee-machine puzzles into proper sysadmin investigation.

The player will need to explore logs, read files, search for clues, and use commands like:

ls
cat
grep

HackMeNow is about learning real terminal habits through story-driven puzzles.

Looking for secure, low-latency IT infrastructure in India?

Chennai has rapidly emerged as the ultimate hub for dedicated servers. From robust Tier III+ data centers to direct submarine cable routes to Singapore, see why enterprises are making the shift to South India.

“Do not touch this server.”

A classic sentence in IT.
Usually followed by no documentation, unclear ownership and a lot of collective hope 😄

But infrastructure should not depend on legends, sticky notes or that one colleague who “just knows how it works.”

With the right structure, teams can manage provisioning, patching, content, lifecycle tasks and automation in a much cleaner way.

Less mystery.
More control over your infrastructure.

BTW: There is a lot of legacy, as someone who works in EDI, which means a lot of communication between different companies, sees. And one has to deal with it.

I have seen more than once outsourcing it to some cloud appliances from the "big boys". But some of them are crap and less reliable than what you have at home. Packet loss, dropped connections, timeouts .. I have been sitting in meetings to solve issues there, and the people very quiet are the experts from the cloud providers. #SysAdmin

Had an eventful day at work with a certificate change gone wrong, related to transport, encryption and signing and the world dropping a feature (thanks, browser kids, esp. Chrome guys, SSL isn't just for HTTPS..)

Took a while to figure out how to solve it. In the meantime got "AI" advice which was helpful like a fly on the jam.

At my workplace I am the last of 3 "old school" SysAdmins. I sometimes wonder how they will solve problems like this in the future.

Who will train "AI" ?
