The file is a critical component of the Cyber-Security Research Dataset (CSRD) specifically associated with the CIC-IDS-2017 or CSE-CIC-IDS2018 datasets used for intrusion detection system (IDS) evaluation . It primarily contains raw network traffic data in PCAP format. Overview and Purpose
Once extracted, the .pcap files can be analyzed using tools like Wireshark, Zeek, or CICFlowMeter. Technical Breakdown bd_116.zip
In its raw form, the data is unlabeled. You must correlate the timestamps in the bd_116 capture with the official attack schedule provided by the CIC to label flows as "Benign." Security Note The file is a critical component of the
Use the CICFlowMeter tool to convert the raw packets into a CSV format containing 80+ network traffic features. Technical Breakdown In its raw form, the data is unlabeled
Unzip the file to access the raw .pcap files. Note that these files can be several gigabytes in size.
Primarily HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, SSH, and standard TCP/UDP background noise.
