LACREND: Los Angeles/Colorado Research Exchange for Network Data

Project Summary

The LACREND project participates as a data provider and a data-hosting site under the PREDICT program. LACREND will provide the research community with a rich set of high-quality network data, including traffic traces and network topology information. The ultimate goal of this work is to enable new research and improvements in network security.

LACREND is a joint research effort of USC's Information Sciences Institute, Computer Science Department, and Information Technology Services and is supported by the DHS IMPACT program through contract NBCHC040137 (2004-2007) and NBCHC080035 (2007-2017).
