Blue Team Training Toolkit (BT3) is software for defensive security training. The toolkit allows you to create realistic computer attack scenarios, while reducing infrastructure costs, implementation time and risk.
Blue Team Training Toolkit also offers an optional content subscription via an online API, which includes realistic network traffic related to a wide range of network attacks, mock malware samples, and important malware indicator profiles. The online library is growing constantly, and ensures a “plug & play” experience, when planning and preparing a training session.
This blog post will document the most important aspects of managing a subscription account. If you are not familiar with how to create a subscription account, you can read more about it in this previous blog post.

Content Subscription Account Deletion
Your content subscription account can be deleted at any time by invoking “apidelete” while being authenticated with your user account. Beware any information associated with your user account, credit balance and licensed materials will be lost once the command is completed. This operation cannot be reverted.
API account deletion will require confirmation
Once the account is deleted, you will be able to use the Blue Team Training Toolkit in offline mode. Any training materials previously downloaded to your hard disk will not be destroyed during the content subscription account deletion process.
