In the last years, a lot of efforts have been done towards building these datasets. Yet, there is still room to improve. In this paper, a comprehensive review of existing datasets is first done, making emphasis on their main shortcomings. Then, we present a new dataset that is built with real traffic and up-to-date attacks. The main advantage of this dataset over previous ones is its usefulness for evaluating IDSs that consider long-term evolution and traffic periodicity. Models that consider differences in daytime/night or weekdays/weekends can also be trained and evaluated with it. We discuss all the requirements for a modern IDS evaluation dataset and analyze how the one presented here meets the different needs.}, keywords = {Network security}, keywords = {IDS}, keywords = {Network traffic}, keywords = {Netflow}, title = {UGR’16: A New Dataset for the Evaluation of Cyclostationarity-Based Network IDSs}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cose.2017.11.004}, author = {Macía Fernández, Gabriel and Camacho Páez, José and Magán Carrión, Roberto and García Teodoro, Pedro and Theron, Roberto}, }
