DETERlab http://www.isi.deterlab.net is an Emulab-based cluster testbed designed for cyber security research. Under funding from DHS and other agencies, the DETER project operates DETERlab while pursueing a vigorous research program to make DETERlab a more powerful research instrument. Our project homepage can be found at http://www.isi.edu/deter.
DETERlab is based on the http://www.emulab.net/Emulab software, and the fundamentals of Emulab and DETER are very similar. However, DETERlab differs from Emulab in our approval process, user features, node types, available tools, and supported operating systems. See the links above. The DETERlab documentation available from this page is generally specific to DETERlab. For more advanced documentation (e.g., advanced examples or an NS reference), refer to the Emulab-based documentation at http://docfilter.deterlab.net/. Note that this link to Emulab-based documentation takes you to a DETERized version of the real Emulab documentation, which contains internal links to Emulab. We have filtered it to replace Emulab references to DETERlab references. differs from that on the Emulab site;
If you find a page that does not have "DETERlab" or "DETER" at the top, you may have been diverted into the real Emulab documentation, which may lad to information that is incorrect for DETERlab. Please tell us if that happens so we can plug the leak.
