Customizing Your IPew Attack Map

IPew comes equipped with various features to enhance your experience:

  • Background: Enjoy a scary dark background that adds to the aesthetics of your map.
  • Sound Effects: Choose from numerous sound effects to accompany your attacks, such as Star Wars blasters and classic arcade sounds.
  • Attribution: Ability to specify source and destination country actors/victims.
  • Chaos Mode: If you want to embrace pandemonium, set random_mode=1 or make all attacks originate from a specific country.

For example, to have a random selection of sound effects along with your maps, you can set up the following URL:

Drill Mode: Enhanced Training Opportunities

Are you preparing for an Incident Response drill? The Drill Mode allows you to specify a targeted latitude and longitude for your attacks. Use the following format:

drill_mode=1&lat=##.####&lon=##.####

Once implemented, all attacks will be directed towards your specified location!

Blame Game with Employee Mode

For added fun, if you wish to humorously attribute attacks to a former employee, you can enable Employee Mode:

employee_mode=1&employee_fname=YourFirstName&employee_lname=YourLastName&lat=##.####&lon=##.####

This could lead to amusing outcomes for your training sessions!

If you encounter any issues while setting up or running your IPew Attack Map, here are some troubleshooting ideas:

  • Check Web Server Settings: Ensure your server is capable of serving static files.
  • Clear Browser Cache: Old cached versions can cause display issues.
  • Verify Query Parameters: Typos in the query strings can lead to unexpected behavior.
  • Refer to Documentation: IPew has extensive documentation that you can refer to for guidance.
