Resumo(s)
With growing dependence on GNSS for different fields and logistics in day to day life, this raises specialized cybersecurity awareness. Despite the rise in signal interference and deception, traditional educational methods often fall short in representing complex, real-time vulnerabilities of these types. This thesis introduces "Port Under Attack," an interactive serious game for teaching GNSS cybersecurity concepts through geospatial simulation. The simulation is a web-based application that was made using Next.js and PixiJS. It puts the user in the role of an analyst. The analyst has a mission to defend a port, the game has a way of teaching that combines theory and practice. It uses scenarios to show what Jamming and Spoofing attacks look like. The game has two types of modes: Learning Modes and Serious Modes. The Learning Modes are interactive, featuring hints, questions, explanations and yes/no prompts (guided discovery). The Serious Modes are intense and with selection option only to apply the learning objective. The game asks the players to find and label things that do not look right. They have to do this by recognizing patterns that they can see. The simulation is, about defending a military port from Jamming and Spoofing attacks. The efficiency of this method has been tested with a pre-test/post-test experimental design showing that geospatial simulation significantly supports technical cybersecurity education.
