Workflow + Analysis

Execution, context, and analysis stay attached to the work.

Cerebra keeps execution, documentation, enrichment, and analysis in one workspace, so the workflow does not break every time the task changes.

Workflow / Runbooks

Runbooks Into Live Sessions

Reusable command cards push directly into the active shell or pane instead of living in disconnected notes.

  • Reusable cards
  • Send to pane
  • Live sessions

Workflow / AI Toolkit

AI With Live Workspace Context

The AI Toolkit can reason over the current workspace instead of acting like a generic detached chatbot.

  • Live context
  • Workspace state
  • In-flow help

Workflow / CyberViewer

CyberViewer For Flow Understanding

Attack-flow graphs stay connected to runbooks and previews so the app captures both action and structure.

  • Flow graphs
  • Preview links
  • Visual structure

Workflow / Notes

Notes Beside The Work

Session notes, evidence, screenshots, code blocks, and procedures stay in the same app instead of fragmenting across tools.

  • Evidence
  • Screenshots
  • Procedures

Analysis / Intel

Enrich Hosts And Indicators Without Leaving The Workspace

Enrich domains, URLs, IPs, and hashes from the same workspace instead of pivoting into a pile of browser tabs.

  • Domains
  • IPs
  • Indicators

Analysis / RevEng

Reverse Engineering Utilities Stay In Flow

Map suspicious APIs to ATT&CK, triage binaries, deobfuscate content, and extract IoCs in the same workspace that holds the live session.

  • APIs + ATT&CK
  • Deobfuscation
  • IoC extraction

Analysis / Crypto

Quick Transforms Stay Docked Beside The Shell

Decode JWTs, hash payloads, convert formats, and run utility transforms without copying data into random web tools.

  • JWT decode
  • Hashing
  • Transforms

Protocols
