CSE-CIC-IDS 2018 Network Intrusion Detection Dataset
Description
The CSE-CIC-IDS2018 dataset was developed by the Communications Security Establishment (CSE) and the Canadian Institute for Cybersecurity (CIC). It includes seven different attack scenarios: Brute-force, Heartbleed, Botnet, DoS, DDoS, Web attacks, and infiltration of the network from inside.
Network traffic was captured using CICFlowMeter and processed into bidirectional flow features.
