We're organizing CSET workshop on security experimentation, co-located with USENIX Security. Send us lots of papers!
The DETER testbed is a public facility for medium-scale repeatable experiments in computer security. Built using Utah's Emulab software, the DETER testbed has been configured and extended to provide effective containment of a variety of computer security experiments, including defense against attacks such as DDoS, worms, viruses, and other malware, as well as attacks on the routing infrastructure.
Once registered, a security experimenter can access DETER remotely to develop, configure, and manipulate collections of nodes and links with nearly-arbitrary network topologies. The pool of testbed nodes is generally shared among multiple simultaneous experiments, isolated from each other. The node pool currently contains roughly 300 PCs, located at USC ISI and UC Berkeley but managed as a single testbed. Supported operating systems include Linux, FreeBSD, Windows, and the Click Modular Router.
From this page you can reach extensive documentation on DETER and Emulab. If you need more immediate information or experience operational problems with DETER, please send email to Testbed Operations (testbed-ops@deterlab.net).
DETER is currently supporting 12 active experiments, and there are 1427 swapped out experiments.
