Idea for a site - UGN Security Forum

A strictly command line based site.

When the user comes to the site all they get is a text area block. based on what they type they can get to other fields...

This can be done with PHP and some Mysql.

I figure it could be set up something like this.

Every section of the site (News, Search, Network tools, BBS, texts, Search) would have its own file with "if" statements in it for the commands. For example...

$ Search -kw HTML

You could have one main script for the site. This would be responsible for getting the commands. It would have something like.

Code

 ...
else if($cmd %LIKE% "Search"){
include('/search.php');
echo "Search Results";
}
else if ($cmd == "Search"){
echo "-kw     proceeds word to search for.  Means Key Word.  syntax Search -kw \"[term here]\"\n -i     Get an index list of search categories.  syntax Search -i \n -il     gets a list of all entries in one or more categories.  Syntax Search -il \"[category name]\"";

else if($cmd == "whatever"){

Could even make the new members sign up using commands we create. Anyone thing this would be a cool project?

Ahhh, wheels are turning,

Much of the code could be stored in the MySQL database in text fields. Maybe even Ascii art for certain section or parts of the site. It could even have a kind of 80's computer feel to it. Maybe incorperate some sounds from old commodore 64's

Hell maybe even add some 80's rip off games and you gett access to them based on how much of the site you figure out. Like maybe have it tiered with each section containg a huge password you only got if you have been to every part of the section before it.

Not realy a hacker game like cyber army, but you would have to spend time on it to figure it out.

Evertime you update you could call it a new version too. Call it I-NOS

Inter-Net Operationg System.

Brilliant, almost sounds like a website wargame kind of thing.

Not necessarily what you are talking about, but ph33r neo: http://www.antielite.com/cmd/

i lke the idea, but i know nothing of PHP and Mysql. Maybe looking at how the page is going might help me but lately i havnt had much time on the computer if anyone has noticed cause i've been real busy with school and guitar and soccer and etc.
An command line based site, as the site starts up it can have just some basic commands, and have a login for those user that are helping and they can start adding commands

make traveling through the page teach u things and have cool things on it, as u find new dirs find some more commands and the like..eh
sounds fun

alright thats my pointless opinion

I have started work on this but have already run into some problems.

Nothing realy works yet. Probably get some error. I worked on it about 10 minutes today.

Anyone here good at ascii art? Any one good with java? I would like to make a few games in java, but they all have to look like ascii games.

<input type="text" size="125" name="command_line" value="

Yea soooo :p

Nah the prompts script needs a bunch of work. I need to figure out how to change the prompts based on what systems the user is in. There are a few dissplay problems I need to figure out also.

I think I will use a
<input type=text bla bla bla>

to take commands instaed of a <textarea bla bla bla>

and have the output or echo disspaly not in a form, but apear as if it is. Like I said needs work.

Here's another idea, I think it'd be cool. Instead of making this a completely web based site, make it something that people can telnet into. Offer limited telnet access or something. Or instead, develop your own shell language of sorts, kind of like you're doing, and run a daemon on some box. Then just make this an interface to to it. People type in stuff, the PHP script runs it in this pseudo shell, and the shell returns some output which the script displays. This has the advantage of allowing people both web access or a more technical feeling telnet sort of access. It'd be essentially offering telnet, but because it's a shell language that's written, not offer complete shell access. Then you can also have a number of different interfaces that people can make. So kinda exactly the same thing, but make it an actual shell, and make a web interface to it.
