The Lincoln Adaptable Real-time Information Assurance Testbed (LARIAT) is a physical^[1] computing platform developed by the MIT Lincoln Laboratory as a testbed for network security applications.^[2] Use of the platform is restricted to the United States military, though some academic organizations can also use the platform under certain conditions.^[3]

Function

LARIAT was designed to help with the development and testing of intrusion detection (ID) and information assurance (IA) technologies.^[4] The platform, initially created in 2002, was one of the first major endeavors to create a comprehensive platform for ID testing^[5] and was created to improve upon a preexisting testbed that was created for DARPA's 1998 and 1999 ID analyses.^[4]

The authors of the platform say that it is designed to "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."^[4]

The platform simulates users and reflects vulnerabilities caused by design flaws and user interactions.^[6]

Influence

Fields such as Artificial Intelligence build on the principles of the LARIAT platform to study and then simulate real-time user input and activity for automated testing systems.^[7]

The MIT Lincoln Laboratory later designed LLSIM as a successor to LARIAT that is fully virtualized.^[5]
