Block the Attacks

This is the playable version of my live attack map. The attacks fly in from the countries my real blocked traffic came from in the last 24 hours, in the same mix of exploit attempts, bad bots and firewall drops. Your job is to tap or click them before they reach the UK.

How to play

• Tap or click an attack to block it. Hits build a combo of up to five times the points, and a miss resets it.
• Red exploit attempts are fast and worth 3 points. Blue bots arrive in swarms of three. Amber is everything else, and green is my firewall’s share.
• Every attack that lands costs uptime. Exploits cost the most. At 0% the game ends.
• It gets faster over the first minute and a half, so the early score is the easy part.

Is this real?

The places the attacks come from and the mix of types are real, taken from the same summary the attack map uses: what Cloudflare blocked on my sites, plus what my firewall dropped, over the last 24 hours. The individual attacks in the game are made up from that mix, and like the map, it never shows IP addresses or which site was hit.

In real life nobody has to tap anything: Cloudflare and the firewall block all of it automatically. There are more games on the games page.
