Forwarded From: seceduat_private Originally From: Fred Cohen <fbcohenat_private> Sandia National Laboratories - California Site - has intiated a program by which students taking courses in information protection can gain experience with real-world attacks and defenses while at the same time helping to characterize and build improved defenses against tools used to attack computer systems and networks. The "Colege Anti-Crackers" program provides access to Sandia's HEAT computer network which contains more than 70 computers whose sole purpose is cyber attack, defense, and analysis. Students who are taking classes from authorized institutions are granted access for supervised experiments with off-the-Internet attack tools. The results are published to the Internet in the form of standard descriptions of attacks, detection and differentiation techniques, and patterns for pattern-based intrusion detection systems.
