How it works

An attacker's packets are traced across a network. In Attacker view you see everything. In Defender view you see only what your sensors record. Click a device to change what it blocks or records, restart, and watch how the story changes. Scenarios describe attacker behaviour, not exploit code.

In Build, Draft with AI gives you a prompt to run in your own AI, then checks and places what it returns. Nothing is sent from this page.
