Getting Started with RTF

This guide walks you through everything you need to start using the RTF platform — from logging in to understanding the main workspace.

Accessing RTF​

RTF runs as a web application. Open your browser and navigate to your RTF instance URL (e.g., https://satlas.sandboxsecurity.ae).

info

RTF uses a secure HTTPS connection. If your browser shows a certificate warning, your organization may be using a self-signed certificate — this is expected for on-premise deployments.

The Main Interface​

When you first open RTF, you'll land on the Engagements screen. This is your home base — all your active and past engagements are listed here.

The interface is divided into a few key areas:

AreaPurpose
Left SidebarNavigate between features within an engagement
Top BarSwitch between engagements, access settings
Main PanelThe active feature view (navigator, findings, terminal, etc.)

Your First Steps​

Here's the recommended flow when you start a new engagement:

1. Create a Profile (your engagement)
      ↓
2. Use AI Scope Suggestions to mark techniques in scope
      ↓
3. Generate an AI Attack Plan
      ↓
4. Open the MITRE Navigator and start tracking progress
      ↓
5. Record Findings as you discover them
      ↓
6. Monitor progress on the Analytics Dashboard

What's a Profile?​

A Profile is an engagement. It represents one target or one assessment. Everything in RTF — findings, navigator data, terminal sessions, AI plans — belongs to a profile.

You can have multiple profiles open at the same time, which is useful if you're working on multiple engagements.

See Managing Profiles → to learn how to create one.

What Are Subprofiles?​

A Subprofile lets you divide an engagement into segments. For example, if your target has multiple departments, networks, or environments, you can create a subprofile for each one.

Findings can be recorded at either the profile level or a specific subprofile level.

See Managing Subprofiles → for more details.
