The paper is dedicated to enriching lectures in the field of cyber security and is basically an upgrade of cyberlets – computer simulations in this field. It introduces the idea of multi-user web applications, where attackers and defenders enter the simulated protected object, each from their own web page. The starting point is the well-known approach with the red and blue teams exploring the protected object from the point-of-view of its vulnerability. After reviewing a number of existing solutions, it describes a multi-user web application, which, although intended for didactics, also contains elements of gamification.
