Dataset Card for NF-CSE-CIC-IDS2018-v2
Note: Dataset is split following a 95 to 5% ratio by stratifying the attack type label.
Dataset Description
The original pcap files of the CSE-CIC-IDS2018 dataset are utilised to generate a NetFlow-based dataset called NF-CSE-CIC-IDS2018-v2. The total number of flows is 18,893,708 out of which 2,258,141 (11.95%) are attack samples and 16,635,567 (88.05%) are benign ones, the table below represents the dataset's distribution.
| Class | Count | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Benign | 7373198 | Normal unmalicious flows |
| BruteForce | 287597 | A technique that aims to obtain usernames and password credentials by accessing a list of predefined possibilities |
| Bot | 15683 | An attack that enables an attacker to remotely control several hijacked computers to perform malicious activities. |
| DoS | 269361 | An attempt to overload a computer system's resources with the aim of preventing access to or availability of its data. |
| DDoS | 380096 | An attempt similar to DoS but has multiple different distributed sources. |
| Infiltration | 62072 | An inside attack that sends a malicious file via an email to exploit an application and is followed by a backdoor that scans the network for other vulnerabilities |
| Web Attacks | 4394 | A group that includes SQL injections, command injections and unrestricted file uploads |
