Abstract

The Lincoln adaptable real-time information assurance testbed, LARIAT, is an extension of the testbed created for DARPA 1998 and 1999 intrusion detection (ID) evaluations. LARIAT supports real-time, automated and quantitative evaluations of ID systems and other information assurance (IA) technologies. Components of LARIAT generate realistic background user traffic and real network attacks, verify attack success or failure, score ID system performance, and provide a graphical user interface for control and monitoring. Emphasis was placed on making LARIAT easy to adapt, configure and run without requiring a detailed understanding of the underlying complexity. LARIAT is currently being exercised at four sites and is undergoing continued development and refinement.
