Port Invaders is an arcade-style educational game designed to help you learn and memorize common networking port numbers. Whether you're studying for Network+, Security+, OSCP, CEH, A+, MCSA, or any other IT certification, this game offers a fun and interactive way to get familiar with port numbers.

• Arcade Gameplay: Classic 8-bit graphics and immersive gameplay.
• Learning Through Interaction: Memorize port numbers by shooting down unauthorized ports while letting authorized ones pass through your firewall.
• Multi-Level Learning: Each level introduces new ports, with varying difficulties.
• Dynamic Scoring: Gain points for correct actions and lose points for mistakes, just like in a real-world scenario.
