Creating a Simulation

Create a New Simulation

  1. If you don’t have a new / fresh simulation tab, click the + button in the top left and select New Empty Simulation. This isn’t typically needed if this is your first run because you will have a new blank simulation visible already.

  2. Click the button to add a procedure to your new simulation

  3. For your first run and if you’re on Windows, I recommend typing benign into the procedure search field and hitting enter.

    • Click the green + button to add Benign Windows Directory Listing, Benign Windows wmic get local datetime, and Benign Windows echo command
  4. Once you’ve added some procedures you should see them in the sidebar. Their execution order can be modified by clicking and dragging.

  5. Click save in the bottom right to finish adding Procedures.
  6. You should now see your selected Procedures listed in your simulation procedure list. The arrow under the procedure order number can be clicked to view a specific Procedure’s details.

  7. Double-click the Simulation tab (likely named ‘New Simulation 1’) to edit its name.

Save a Simulation to a File

  1. If you’d like to save a simulation you’ve created, click the save icon in the top part of the Simulation pane. This will allow you to save a “MACATable” TOML file to your filesystem that you can share with colleagues or load later.
