Breach Protocol

**Breach Protocol — Cyber Defense** is a free cybersecurity strategy game that plays right in your browser. Pick a side of the firewall and fight a fast, replayable tower-defense battle — as the defender *or* the attacker.

## 🔵 Blue Team — Defend

You're an analyst in a Security Operations Center. Waves of cyber-attacks — malware, DDoS floods, phishing, SQL injection, ransomware, zero-day exploits, and Advanced Persistent Threat bosses — race down the network toward your Core. Deploy the right defense for each threat: antivirus, firewall, email gateway, web firewall, EDR/backup, or AI threat intel. Every defense is 3× strong against its matching threat and weak against the rest — so reading each wave and mixing your layout is the whole game.

## 🔴 Red Hat — Attack

Flip sides and play the hacker. Spend intel to launch the attacks the enemy's defenses can't counter, breach their Core, and keep your Trace meter under 100% before the blue team pins your location. The AI defender adapts and reinforces over time — timing, plus your DDoS Surge and Zero-Day cloak tools, decides whether you get in clean.
