Where is the console-based simulator?
The console version of the simulator is implemented by the ThalesConsoleSimulator project. In order to run it you need to download the simulator code and rebuild the project. Once that is done, navigate to the ThalesConsoleSimulator/bin/debug folder and execute the ThalesConsoleSimulator.exe. The console should open and look like the image below.

At this point you may press F6 to enter or exit the authorized mode and CTRL-C to exit the simulator. The console simulator can run under both Windows and openSUSE.
