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]

LARIAT was designed to help with the development and testing of intrusion detection (ID) and information assurance (IA) technologies.[4] Initially created in 2002,[5] LARIAT was the first simulated platform for ID testing[6] and was created to improve upon a preexisting non-simulated testbed that was created for DARPA's 1998 and 1999 ID analyses.[4] LARIAT is used by the United States military for training purposes and automated systems testing.[7]
