CyberPeace Miners: Introduction to Cybersecurity with Minecraft
summary
A playable Minecraft map with six levels teaches practical cybersecurity tasks: password brute‑force simulation, two‑factor authentication, VPN tunneling, a ransomware scenario, phishing detection using image‑to‑structure fake emails, and a DDoS demo. The build uses vanilla redstone, command blocks, and image‑to‑structure maps, with editing via Forge/Fabric, WorldEdit and ReplayMod; deployment runs on Kubernetes with Helm on Exoscale plus a Go API, and a server‑on‑demand prototype exists. Usage metrics reported are about 5,000 visits and 1,000 downloads, and the map is hosted at miners.cyberpeaceinstitute.org.
