Workflows

The current page describes the ideal sequence of steps to use when you want to use Cryton to automate the attacks.

Deployment

Once you have your infrastructure, install Cryton onto it:

  1. Deploy and start Hive
  2. Deploy and start Worker(s)
  3. Deploy CLI or Frontend
  4. Make sure it works:
    • To ensure your deployment works, try to perform a successful healthcheck on your Worker(s) using CLI, frontend, or possibly REST API
    • Additionally, check the Hive and Worker(s) output if there are any errors

Tips

  • In case you are hosting a Cyber defense exercise with an infrastructure for each team, use one Worker per team

Attack planning

Every Run can be described by a simple formula: 

plan template + inventory = Plan instance
Plan instance + Worker = Plan execution
Plan instance + Workers = Run

Which results in the following steps:

  1. Design a plan template (scenario)
  2. Create a Plan instance
  3. Register the Worker(s)
  4. Create a Run
  5. Schedule or execute the Run
  6. Get the Run report
