ISEAGE: The Internet-Scale Event and Attack Generation Environment (ISEAGE) (pronounced “ice age”) is being developed at the Iowa State University Information Assurance Center (IAC). The goal of ISEAGE is to provide a world-class research and education facility to enhance the current state of the art in information assurance. Dedicated to creating a virtual Internet for the purpose of researching, designing, and testing cyber defense mechanisms, the proposed one-of-a-kind facility will be the catalyst for bringing together top researchers from several disciplines for a common goal of making computing safer. Unlike computer-based simulations, real attacks will be played out against real equipment.
SNAIR: The goal of SNAIR is to provide an environment where students and researchers are able to better understand intrusion detection and attribution so we can not only detect computational misuse but also understand who is misusing the computer(s). This laboratory is an experimental lab, in the sense that it isn't purely theory.

Cyber Space Forensics Lab: The goal of the Cyber Attack Simulation Project is to provide an environment where end-users, developers, and researchers can test Cyber defenses against real world attacks. The facility will be operated on a cost recovery basis to ensure its ongoing success and to provide continual access to state of the art equipment.

Computer Science Lab: The goal of the Information Systems Security Laboratory is to examine security issues through intrusion detection and counter measures to an intrusion discovered in a network. The facility utilizes both a wired and wireless network infrastructure allowing for both forms of traffic in the laboratory. The facility consists of an environment containing Linux and Windows XP desktops, file servers, laptops, and palmtops connecting through both wireless and wired connections. The components of the network are connected to other components through the use of Ad-Hoc and access points. The facility will be designed to provide an excellent environment to conduct state of the art research in computer security and security tool development. Use of the lab by researchers will be charged back to research contracts.
