Welcome


Welcome to the website for the information assurance lab. You'll find expanded documents, links, and other resources available here. There will be additional content coming soon!

The information assurance lab was created in 2003 as a resource for Dakota State University faculty, staff, and students. The lab allows for the use and testing of advanced computer security tools in a safe "sandbox" environment. The lab is utilized for educational means in many of DSU's computer security classes, as well as by students and staff who wish to do research on a variety of computer security issues.

The IA Lab is located in East Hall.  We continue to upgrade the lab in order to provide a more complete and realistic learning environment.  Our current configuration includes 12 workstations with the ability to boot into either Windows XP or Linux, 4 "victim" pc's, 1 server, 1 packet collector, and a hardened host.  All of these machines are interconnected via Cisco 2900 switches.
