A terminal-based game for learning AWS security best practices through interactive challenges. This game provides hands-on experience with DevSecOps principles in the AWS cloud environment.

Before you begin, ensure you have the following prerequisites installed:

• Python 3.11+ - The game is built with Python 3.11 or later
• AWS CLI v2 - AWS Command Line Interface for interacting with AWS services
• Docker (optional) - Required for container security challenges
• A terminal with color support - For the best experience with the Rich UI

The game requires valid AWS credentials to function. It uses read-only AWS operations by default, but you'll need proper credentials configured:

1. Create an IAM User (recommended):

   • Sign in to your AWS Management Console
   • Navigate to IAM and create a new user with programmatic access
   • Attach the ReadOnlyAccess managed policy (this provides secure, read-only access)

2. Configure your credentials using one of these methods:

   a. Using AWS CLI:

   aws configure

   b. Environment variables:

   export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=your_access_key
   export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=your_secret_key
   export AWS_REGION=your_preferred_region  # e.g., us-east-1

   c. Creating credentials file manually:

   mkdir -p ~/.aws
   cat > ~/.aws/credentials << EOF
   [default]
   aws_access_key_id = your_access_key
   aws_secret_access_key = your_secret_key
   EOF
   
   cat > ~/.aws/config << EOF
   [default]
   region = your_preferred_region
   EOF

3. Verify your configuration:

   aws sts get-caller-identity

   If successful, you'll see your AWS account information.

1. Clone or download this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/aws-devsecops-game.git
   cd aws-devsecops-game

2. Create a virtual environment (optional but recommended):

   python -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

3. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

Start the game by running:

python main.py

If you get a permissions error, make the script executable:

chmod +x main.py
python main.py

• Interactive CLI: Navigate through scenarios using a Rich-powered terminal interface
• Progressive Difficulty: Scenarios increase in complexity as you learn
• Read-Only Operations: By default, all AWS operations are read-only for safety
• Save/Resume: Your progress is automatically saved
• Real-World Scenarios: Based on actual DevSecOps challenges and AWS best practices

This game is designed with security in mind:

• All AWS operations are read-only by default
• Any operations that would modify AWS resources require explicit confirmation
• No sensitive AWS credential information is logged or stored

• IAM permissions and least privilege principle
• Security group configurations
• Cloud infrastructure security
• Compliance and audit
• Container security
• CI/CD security integration

• Invalid AWS Credentials: Ensure your AWS credentials are valid and have read access permissions
• Missing Dependencies: Verify all dependencies are installed with pip install -r requirements.txt
• Permission Issues: Ensure the main.py file is executable (chmod +x main.py)
• Display Issues: Ensure your terminal supports colors and Unicode characters for the best experience
