Operating a Lab

Operator Toolkit

Run a lab end-to-end

From your first deployment to guest links, VM export, and driving labs from code: everything you need to work inside a Rogue Arena lab.

Start a Lab

Deploying a Lab

Launch a scenario from the library or your own canvas. You can run several deployments at once, each fully independent.

Deploy 02

Lab Types

Mini Lab, Scenario, Course, Certification Test, and Model Testing, and how each one decides which VMs you see and how tasks unlock.

Compare types 03

Click to Try

Open a Try link, sign in, and start a free, timed lab that is already built and waiting for you.

Start a trial 04

The Deployment Toolbar

Revert, power off, share, or delete your lab from the icons on its card, and check its health and uptime at a glance.

Use the toolbar

Working in VMs

Operating a VM

Open machines in the browser console. Use the VM dock, snap layouts, and multi-VM tabs to work in several machines at once.

Open the console 06

VM Viewers

Two ways to drive a VM: Guacamole for any network, or WebTransport for GPU-streamed, low-latency video.

Pick a viewer 07

File Upload & Download

Drag files into any VM, or pull artifacts and logs back to your local machine without SCP or shared folders.

Move files 08

VPN Connectivity

Connect your local machine to the deployment network over OpenVPN, and run your own tools against lab targets as if you were on-prem.

Connect VPN 09

Snapshot Management

Save VM state before a risky operation, and revert to it without redeploying if something goes wrong.

Manage snapshots 10

Memory Capture

Image a running VM's memory to the scenario StudentShare for forensics practice.

Capture memory 11

Export a VM (OVA)

Download any VM as an OVA file and run it in VMware or your own lab.

Export a VM

Learning

Viewing Curriculum

Follow guided course content, answer questions, submit flags, and work through linear or CTF-style chapter layouts.

Open curriculum 13

Taking a Certification Test

Schedule a test with your voucher, start it with the proctor PIN, and know what is locked during the session.

Get certified

Invite Guests

Bring teammates or instructors into your deployment for mock red-team CTFs, pair work, or over-the-shoulder help.

Share the lab 15

Guest Links

Give anyone timed access to your running lab with a link and a 6-digit code. No account needed.

Create a link 16

Platform Chat

Message teammates and instructors inside the platform without leaving your lab session.

Start chatting

AI & Automation

Rogue Oracle

An AI assistant inside your lab. Ask about the lab, get unstuck, or have it run commands, click through desktops, and push code to a VM.

Ask Oracle 18

Agent MCP

Let your AI agent run the lab from your terminal. It can browse VMs, run commands, manage snapshots, and test malware detection.

Hand it to your agent 19

Model Testing

Run an AI model against a real range with Inspect and score how many hops it reaches.

Test a model 20

Deployments API

Deploy scenarios, run scripts on VMs, snapshot, and hand out guest links from your own code.
