VESL Cyber Command
Designer and engineer
VESL Cyber Command casts students as trainee operators who work in the command line, starting with Operation First Contact, a secure digital dead-drop. It runs a simulated shell in the browser, with an explain command for hints when students get stuck, a tutorial, adjustable typing speed, and four color themes. I built it for an earlier curriculum build-out, and it was used again and again for competitions and events in a cybersecurity curriculum.
