Project Description

The ISU ISERink will virtually model a portion of the Iowa State University network. It will be used for tabletop exercises that we will create in which the different sections of the IT department will have to interact to solve problems in this virtual environment in real time. These exercises will include everything from servers failing to full-scale assault on the network and will help the IT department to develop plans for real life disasters.

Background

The Iowa State IT Department is split into teams that handle various aspects of the network and its services. This division creates an inherent gap in communication, and, should a disaster occur, could severely impede progress towards a solution.

ISERink was created by the ISEAGE Research Group at Iowa State University as a platform for virtually modelling network environments for the purposes of training and penetration testing.

Scope

This project consists of replicating a portion of Iowa State University's network. This project will only encompass a relatively small portion of the network, however it will be treated as a trial-run for implementing the entire network.
