Getting Started

This guide will help you quickly set up and run a demo of CRADLE—the collaborative threat intelligence platform—in just a few minutes. Follow these simple steps to get up and running.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed:

  • Docker (version 20.10+)
  • Docker Compose (version 2.0+)
  • Git
🐋
Tip: If you don’t have Docker installed, download it from Docker’s official website!

Clone the Repository

Open your terminal and run the following command to clone the CRADLE repository:

git clone https://github.com/prodaft/cradle.git

Navigate to the Project Directory

Change into the newly cloned repository:

cd cradle

Start the Demo Environment

Launch the demo using Docker Compose with the pre-configured demo file:

docker compose -f docker-compose.demo.yml up -d

This command downloads the necessary images, builds the containers, and starts all services in the background.

Open CRADLE in Your Browser

Once the containers are running, open your web browser and navigate to:

http://localhost:8000

You should see the CRADLE login page.

Log In to the Application

Use the default credentials to log in:

  • Username: admin
  • Password: admin

Check-Out The User Guide

Have a look at the user guide to get a general understanding of how CRADLE works and learn how to use its features more efficiently.

Explore CRADLE

Now that you’re logged in, take a few minutes to:

  • Browse Dashboards: View centralized intelligence data and explore related entities.
  • Use the Graph Explorer: Visualize and traverse relationships between entities and artifacts.
  • Create and Edit Notes: Experience collaborative note-taking and see how CRADLE links related data automatically.

Wrapping Up

You now have a fully functional demo of CRADLE running on your machine! When you’re finished exploring, you can stop the demo by executing:

docker compose -f docker-compose.demo.yml down
