****** Welcome to Pwnie Island! ******
Pwn Adventure 3: Pwnie Island is a limited-release, first-person, true open-
world MMORPG set on a beautiful island where anything could happen. That's
because this game is intentionally vulnerable to all kinds of silly hacks!
Flying, endless cash, and more are all one client change or network proxy away.
Are you ready for the mayhem?!
***** ...wait, what? *****
No, really! We are security professionals that want to help game designers
understand how and why players are able to take advantage of design and
programming flaws. By creating a game that is intentionally flawed, we can
create an example for developers of what not to do. Our hackable components all
live in their own sandbox, too (the net code and game logic are completely
custom), so you won't have to hack the engine (Unreal 4) itself!
You see, Pwn Adventure 3 isn't about being a really fun MMORPG (although, we
certainly hope it is!). It's about providing hacking challenges for Ghost_in
the_Shellcode_2015 and educating video game developers. After the limited
release of the game, we intend to provide write-ups and examples of the flaws
present in the game. We hope you'll show off all of your awesome hacks, too!
***** I've never heard of this, neat! *****
This is the sixth year for the Ghost in the Shellcode CTF itself, and the
second year for Pwn Adventure. You can find more more details on last year's
Unity-based version over at ghostintheshellcode.com.

****** Features ******
Like most modern MMORPGs, Pwn Adventure 3 features plenty of...
[Chest]
**** Quests ****
A large, open world isn't useful unless it's filled with quests. So, just in
case the bears and hacking challenges don't keep you busy, we've packed in more
quests than ever before. You'll be doing quests until the cows come home!
[Boss]
**** Bosses ****
If world bosses with epic and legendary loot is your thing, we have a game for
you! But, beware - some bosses may need more than your buddies and some
upgraded gear to overcome...
[Skull]
**** Player vs Player ****
Do you find first-person, player-eat-player action exhilerating? We've got you
covered with a toggleable PvP mode available all over the island. But, don't
forget - we encourage cheating. Make sure your aimbot is as good as your
opponent's!
There's also a large island to explore, epic loot, hidden areas, achievements,
pirates, and more!

****** Downloads ******
Pwn Adventure 3: Pwnie Island is available on all 3 major desktop operating
systems. Preloads are encrypted and will download the relevant data files. The
encrypted client will unlock at 1530 EST on January 16th.
    * Windows
    * OS_X
    * Linux
***** Requirements *****
For the best experience, you'll want a computer with at least the following
minimum specifications to run Pwn Adventure 3:
    * Graphics Card: Intel HD 4000 Graphics
    * OS X: 10.9.2
    * Linux: Tested on Ubuntu 14.04 (may work on others), 64-bit required
    * Windows: Tested on Win7 (XP may work)
It may be possible to play Pwn Adventure 3 with less, but framerate and quality
will suffer considerably.

****** When can I play? ******
Pwn Adventure 3 will be released at Shmoocon_2015, from January 16-18, 2015. It
is part of the Ghost_in_the_Shellcode CTF event. Servers will go live when
Ghost in the Shellcode starts at 3:30pm EST and will be torn down sometime
after the CTF ends. Exact timing will depend on our EC2 costs, but we'd like to
leave servers up for at least a week.
***** Why the limited release? *****
We don't have the time or resources required to run an MMORPG. Amazon
graciously donates hosting during the CTF, but as a free game, we don't make
any money to cover the costs of running it long-term. We will, however, be
making much of the source code and binaries available after Ghost in the
Shellcode. This way, anyone can run their own servers once ours go dark.

****** Did we miss something? ******
The Ghost in the Shellcode organizers are available on the freenode IRC network
in #gits-ctf and are happy to help with your questions before and after the
event. We're also on Twitter and can always be reached by e-mail at gits at
ghost in the shellcode dot com.
Pwn Adventure 3 is the brainchild of one Rusty Wagner. He's responsible for the
idea, the planning, and nearly all of the execution (programming, level design,
quests, and so forth). Without him, there would be no game! Special thanks also
goes to the Ghost in the Shellcode organizers for their support during
development and testing.
