Network Attack Reference Data Set

Abstract

A set of network attacks was created at DRDC Ottawa for the purpose of testing network attack detection and visualisation methods. The network attack traces were generated by extracting attacks from real-world networks, from closed networks specifically set up to test attacks, and through the use of custom software written to simulate attack traffic. In this document, the attacks included in the data set are described in detail along with the method used to generate them. The software tools used in the creation of the data sets are presented and issues involved in the generation of the data are discussed. The 52 attack traces are available on a CD in a purified form.
