Peter Packet The Cisco Security Game

antdude writes "A forum user at Broadbandreports.com found Peter Packet, Cisco's Security Game. Peter can dodge viruses, evade hackers, the whole nine yards. That is the real reason why the Internet is safe! There is a cool introduction, music, games, informative stuff (educational), etc. Quite amusing. You need Flash to view it."

I actually enjoyed this blatant advertisement of a game. The theme song is cheesy but catchy and the gameplay is actually fun. (In one of the minigames, you have to stand in for a broken router until the new shiny ass-kicking Cisco router gets there.) The things it teaches about routing and security are oversimplified but are close enough to the truth for the average person.

And I laughed out loud upon learning that the stated objective is to carry an email to its destination - for the benefit of a poor little Indian girl whose father can't work because he burned his hands while at his job at the match factory.
