We’re pleased to announce M&NTIS Platform v26.2, a release focused on expanding cyber exercices content, improving offensive capabilities, and enhancing the analyst experience in labs.
⭐ Key Highlights
🎭 New Scenario: Coerdril
We’re introducing Coerdril, a new scenario designed to challenge blue teams with unusual behavior involving a critical file server.
This scenario simulates:
- Unexpected authentication attempts on a critical file server
- Irregular access patterns to restricted network shares
Coerdril adds another layer of complexity to your training exercises, helping analysts develop skills in detecting subtle indicators of compromise within legitimate-looking activity in a Windows corporate environement.
🌍 All Scenarios Now Available in English
All M&NTIS scenarios are now fully available in English, including the recently supported Aetheris and Venopie scenarios.
This means:
- Better support for international teams and English-speaking organizations
- Easier integration into global training programs and certifications
You can now run complete blue team training programs entirely in English, from scenario walkthroughs to debriefing materials.
🛠️ Enhanced Atomic Red Team Support (Beta)
We’ve improved Atomic Red Team integration, still in beta, with several key enhancements:
- Input arguments support: Atomic tests now
