The initiative proposes to create an Internet-Scale Event and Attack Generation Environment (ISEAGE) (pronounced 'ice age') at Iowa State University (previously referred to as the Cyber Protection Lab

Iowa State University Internet-Scale Event and Attack Generation Environment (ISEAGE) will provide a mechanism to help solve cybercrime. The ISEAGE facility will provide a controlled environment where real world attacks can be played out against different configurations. ISEAGE will contain a vast warehouse of attack tools that will be able to simulate point-to-point and distributed attacks. ISEAGE represents a new paradigm in the area of security research and cyber forensics, and will enable new and innovative research aimed at solving current security problems.
