Ephemeral probes

Deploy installation-free processes

Ephemeral probes are lightweight processes with the smallest footprint possible. They are designed to run without dependencies on any modern version of Linux or MacOS.

Prerequisites

Use the CLI to generate a new endpoint token:

Serial is intended to be a serial number but can be any unique string associated to the target machine

prelude detect create-endpoint -h <HOST> -s <SERIAL>

Linux/MacOS

Download Nocturnal.

Set your token to an environment variable and start the script:

export PRELUDE_TOKEN=<TOKEN>
./nocturnal.sh

Windows

Download Raindrop.

Set your token to an environment variable and start the script:

SETX PRELUDE_TOKEN <TOKEN> /M
.\raindrop.ps1
