GhostNet — Terms & Conditions

◈ TERMS OF SERVICE & DISCLAIMER Effective: March 2026 · v1.0

1. SIMULATED ENVIRONMENT

GhostNet is a browser-based hacking simulation game. All IP addresses, servers, nodes, and targets displayed within the game are fictional and randomly generated. They do not correspond to real systems on the internet.

Commands such as nmap, nikto, hack, ddos, traceroute, and others are simulated entirely within the game. No actual network traffic is generated. No real systems are probed, scanned, or attacked.

2. THE ETHICAL HACKER'S PLEDGE

          ✓ YOUR COMMITMENT: GhostNet teaches real cybersecurity techniques in a safe sandbox.
          Like TryHackMe and HackTheBox, we trust our community to keep skills inside the lab.
          By proceeding, you join a community of ethical hackers who learn to defend, not destroy.
        

By playing GhostNet, you agree to the following ethical hacker's pledge:

I will use skills learned here only in authorized environments — never against real systems without explicit written permission.
I understand that unauthorized access to real systems is illegal under the CFAA, Philippine RA 10175, and equivalent laws worldwide.
I take personal responsibility for my actions outside this simulation.
GhostNet and its developers bear no liability for misuse of knowledge gained from gameplay.

3. EDUCATIONAL PURPOSE

GhostNet is intended as an educational and entertainment platform to help players understand cybersecurity concepts in a safe, legal, and controlled environment. The game is inspired by real penetration testing workflows to give players an authentic experience.

          If you are interested in real ethical hacking, we encourage you to pursue official certifications such as CEH, OSCP, or CompTIA Security+, and to practice only on authorized platforms such as HackTheBox, TryHackMe, or your own isolated lab environments.
        

4. ACCOUNT & CONDUCT

You must be at least 13 years old to create an account.
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your GitHub account used to sign in.
Harassment, abuse, cheating, or exploitation of other players may result in immediate account suspension.
The admin reserves the right to reset, suspend, or delete any account at any time.
Do not share your account with others.

5. DATA & PRIVACY

When you sign in with GitHub, GhostNet receives your GitHub username and public profile only. We do not access your repositories, email, or private data.

6. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

GhostNet is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. We make no guarantees regarding uptime, data preservation, or fitness for any particular purpose. The game is in active beta and may undergo changes, resets, or downtime at any time.
