've been brainstorming an idea for a game where players take on the role of ethical (white-hat) hackers. The core concept would be a sandbox-style environment where you can:

• Hack into systems using realistic strategies (e.g. scanning, exploiting vulnerabilities, writing scripts).

• Strengthen defenses of your systems or accidentally create new weaknesses.

• Compete or cooperate with other players - think of “hacking duels,” cyberwarfare simulations, or shared networks where you can counterattack or defend each other.

• Maybe even integrate some RPG elements like leveling up your skills, getting custom tools, and tracking your “reputation” as either friendly or feared.

I'm considering developing something like this, but I figured something similar probably already exists - maybe even as a niche indie game or community project.

Before I invest too much time, I’d love to hear from you:

• Are there any games where players can actually hack one another or simulate hacking/breach scenarios in a multiplayer or sandbox fashion?

• Bonus points if the game uses realistic commands, scripting, or true-to-life hacker mechanics.
