title: Dataset to Train Intrusion Detection Systems based on Machine Learning Models for Electrical Substations

description: DATASET

This dataset is part of the research work titled "A Dataset to Train Intrusion Detection Systems based on Machine Learning Models for Electrical Substations," which is currently awaiting approval for publication. The dataset has been meticulously curated to support the development and evaluation of machine learning models tailored for detecting cyber intrusions in the context of electrical substations. It is intended to facilitate research and advancements in cybersecurity for critical infrastructure, specifically focusing on real-world scenarios within electrical substation environments. We encourage its use for experimentation and benchmarking in related areas of study.

The following sections list the content of the dataset generated.

Description



file type: it may be captured61850 or captured104 depending on whether it contains network captures of the protocol IEC61850 or IEC104.

attack: attack free (attackfree) or attack name is added to the file name.

function: optionally, if there are some details about functionality captured (normalfault) or specific protocol capture (PTP).

file extension: the type can be PCAP (network capture) or CSV (flow file).

Description

The outcomes of different test executions are available as follows:



test1-iec104: IEC 104 protocol for all attacks and attack free scenario

test1-iec61850: IEC 61850 protocol for fuzzy attack with fault injection and attack free scenario

test2-iec61850: IEC 61850 protocol for fuzzy attack normal operation and attack free scenario


Each test consists of the model results in Python pickle format (with a .pkl extension) and a detailed description of the execution conditions in an output log file (with a .log extension).
