Rogue Architect

Rogue Architect is the scenario building tool in Rogue Arena. It provides a visual drag-and-drop canvas for designing network topologies, configuring virtual machines with Ansible plugins, and launching real infrastructure builds.

The Architect canvas mid-design. VLANs are grouped by purpose (attacker infra, redirector, multi-site AD forest, secure vault), machines are wired with plugins, and connections are drawn between segments.

Don’t want to build by hand? Hand the controls to your AI agent. With the Rogue Arena MCP plugin loaded, your agent can drive Architect end-to-end: design VLANs, drop machines, wire plugins, and even write new plugins from scratch when an existing one doesn’t cover the case.

It can also stand up entire Active Directory topologies with realistic users (logged-in sessions, mailboxes, profile data), seeded files, scheduled tasks, browser history, and anything else a believable lab needs. You describe the lab; your agent builds it.

Three Workflows

Architect has three workflows. Each one stands on its own, and together they make a published scenario. Click a path to learn more:

01

Lab Creation

Design the lab on the canvas with VLANs, machines, plugins, and AD forests. Run a real build, iterate, and templatize it once it works.

Design a blueprint 02

Curriculum Development

Attach teaching content to a blueprint: chapters, tasks, flag unlocks, and CTF node graphs. The curriculum deploys with the blueprint.

Write curriculum 03

Plugin Development

Build the Ansible plugins that machines use to configure themselves: install software, create users, drop files, and configure services. Any scenario can reuse them.
