CALDERA™

Full documentation, training and use-cases can be found here.

CALDERA™ is a cyber security framework designed to easily run autonomous breach-and-simulation exercises. It can also be used to run manual red-team engagements or automated incident response.

It is built on the MITRE ATT&CK™ framework and is an active research project at MITRE.

The framework consists of two components:

  1. The core system. This is the framework code, consisting of what is available in this repository. Included is an asynchronous command-and-control (C2) server with a REST API and a web interface.
  2. Plugins. These are separate repositories that hang off of the core framework, providing additional functionality. Examples include agents, GUI interfaces, collections of TTPs and more.

Plugins

⭐ Create your own plugin! Plugin generator: Skeleton ⭐

Default

  • Access (red team initial access tools and techniques)
  • Atomic (Atomic Red Team project TTPs)
  • Builder (dynamically compile payloads)
  • CalTack (embedded ATT&CK website)
  • Compass (ATT&CK visualizations)
  • Debrief (operations insights)
  • Fieldmanual (documentation)
  • GameBoard (visualize joint red and blue operations)
  • Human (create simulated noise on an endpoint)
  • Manx (shell functionality and reverse shell payloads)
  • Mock (simulate agents in operations)
  • Response (incident response)
  • Sandcat (default agent)
  • SSL (enable https for caldera)
  • Stockpile (technique and profile storehouse)
  • Training (certification and training course)

More

These plugins are ready to use but are not included by default:

Requirements

These requirements are for the computer running the core framework:

  • Any Linux or MacOS
  • Python 3.6.1+ (with Pip3)
  • Google Chrome is our only supported browser
  • Recommended hardware to run on is 8GB+ RAM and 2+ CPUs

Installation

Start by cloning this repository recursively, passing the desired version/release in x.x.x format. This will pull in all available plugins. If you clone master - or any non-release branch - you may experience bugs.

git clone https://github.com/mitre/caldera.git --recursive --branch 3.0.0

Next, install the PIP requirements:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Super-power your CALDERA server installation! Install GoLang (1.13+)

Finally, start the server.

python3 server.py --insecure

Collectively this would be:

git clone https://github.com/mitre/caldera.git --recursive --branch 3.0.0
cd caldera
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
python3 server.py --insecure

Once started, you should log into http://localhost:8888 using the credentials red/admin. Then go into Plugins -> Training and complete the capture-the-flag style training course to learn how to use the framework.

Watch the following video for a brief run through of how to run your first operation.
