Abstract

We are developing an experimental testbed intended to help support security research. The testbed allows a network of unmodified hosts, running any of several of unmodified operating systems, to execute in a controlled and reproducible manner. The network is implemented on a hypervisor that is instrumented to observe and control security-relevant events. These events are securely logged to a relational database for later analysis.
