DoD IT Security Training: The "Hackerman" Drinking Game (Please Don't Actually Drink)
We've all been there – drowning in a sea of mandatory cybersecurity training videos. For those brave souls in the US Department of Defense, especially those supporting the US Navy, Spring brings a tidal wave of IT security training. But fear not, weary warriors of the network, for there's a glimmer of fun (or perhaps, liver failure) on the horizon – The "Hackerman" Drinking Game! Disclaimer: This is for entertainment purposes only. Please don't consume alcohol while undergoing official training.
The Players:
This game is best enjoyed with fellow IT warriors who share your cyber-defensive spirit (and a strong tolerance for mediocrity).
The Equipment:
- Your assigned IT security training videos/modules.
- A designated beverage (non-alcoholic for responsible participation).
The Rules:
- Hacker, Hacked, Hackerman: One sip every time the narrator utters "hack," "hacked," or the ever-popular (and slightly inaccurate) "hackerman."
- Stock Photo Shenanigans: Two sips for any generic cybersecurity stock photo. Three sips for the classic "Hoodie Hacker Guy In Dark Room" photo. Bonus sip if he's wearing sunglasses indoors.
- Fearmongering Frenzy: One sip for every exaggerated cyberwarfare scenario involving blinking red lights and dramatic music.
- Social Engineering Slips: Two sips for any training scenario where a user falls victim to an elementary social engineering attack (e.g., clicking on a suspicious link).
- Password Faux Pas: One sip for every mention of "password123" or other laughably weak password examples. Two sips if the solution involves a single uppercase letter and a special character.
Optional Hardcore Rules:
- Technobabble Trouble: One sip for every instance of jargon that would make even Scotty from Star Trek scratch his head.
- Snooze-a-Thon: Take a sip whenever you lose focus due to the training's sheer monotony.
Remember:
This game is for amusement only! The goal is to stay informed and vigilant, not to reenact a scene from a bad hacker movie. So, raise your (non-alcoholic) glasses to a more secure future, one cybersecurity training video at a time (with a healthy dose of humor, of course).
Pro Tip:
- Use this game as a bonding experience with your colleagues.
- Discuss the importance of cybersecurity best practices while enjoying the camaraderie.
- Maybe even brainstorm better training methods to keep everyone engaged (without the drinking game, of course).
