Abstract

Introduction: Analyzing the high-dimensional datasets used for intrusion detection becomes a challenge for researchers. This paper presents the most often used data sets. ADFA contains two data sets containing records from Linux/Unix. AWID is based on actual traces of normal and intrusion activity of an IEEE 802.11 Wi-Fi network. CAIDA collects data types in geographically and topologically diverse regions. In CIC-IDS2017, HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, SSH, and email protocols are examined. CSECIC-2018 includes abstract distribution models for applications, protocols, or lower-level network entities. DARPA contains data of network traffic. ISCX 2012 dataset has profiles on various multi-stage attacks and actual network traffic with background noise. KDD Cup '99 is a collection of data transfer from a virtual environment. Kyoto 2006+ contains records of real network traffic. It is used only for anomaly detection. NSL-KDD corrects flaws in the KDD Cup '99 caused by redundant and duplicate records. UNSW-NB-15 is derived from real normal data and the synthesized contemporary attack activities of the network traffic. Methods: This study uses both quantitative and qualitative techniques. The scientific references and publicly accessible information about given dataset are used. Results: Datasets are often simulated to meet objectives required by a particular organization. The number of real datasets are very small compared to simulated dataset. Anomaly detection is rarely used today. Conclusion: 95 The main characteristics and a comparative analysis of the data sets in terms of the date they were created, the size, the number of features, the traffic types, and the purpose are presented.
