Abstract

The DETER testbed provides a shared Internet-accessible environment where security researchers can safely run experiments and companies can test their security products. Experimentation with malware in DETER has so far been limited to simulated worms, which only simulate the spreading action without actually infecting any computer systems. This paper outlines a set of architectural and procedural changes that should allow safe experimentation with a class of moderately risky, real malware in the DETER testbed.
