Creates the simulation with given information

About

Create Simulation endpoint creates and runs a simulation as requested; scheduled or instant.
You can create a simulation by giving your simulation a name and adding the template ID, agent ID. You can also make your protocol configurations and enrich your simulation with detection analytics by adding integration information. You cannot create a simulation with the same agent, template, protocol, integrations, and schedule unless you include the parameter force:true in the request body.

  • schedule_now or schedule should be given

Attack Modules

  • Network Infiltration module_id = 1
  • Windows Endpoint Scenario module_id = 2
  • Web Application module_id = 3
  • Email module_id = 4
  • Data Exfiltration module_id = 5
  • Linux Endpoint Scenario module_id = 6
  • macOS Endpoint Scenario module_id = 7

Example for Endpoint Attacks

Create scheduled simulation which runs on day 1,3 and 4 of the week
