Abstract

The DETER testbed provides infrastructure for conducting medium-scale repeatable experiments in computer security, especially experiments that involve malicious code. Built using Utah’s EMULAB, the DETER testbed has been configured and extended to provide stronger assurances for isolation and containment. This paper provides information on the capabilities of the DETER testbed and discusses the lessons learned from its deployment. Our strategies for containment are described and future plans discussed.
