Stochastic Simulation Dataset of IoT Malware Spread Using Individual-Based SIR Models and Topological Overlap Measures

This dataset contains simulation data generated from two individual-based stochastic models for malware propagation in an Internet-of-Things (IoT) network: a continuous-time Gillespie SIR model and a discrete-time Monte Carlo SIR model. For each modeling framework, two variants are included: the standard version (Gil / LMC) and the version incorporating the Topological Overlap Measure (TOM) (GilT / LMCTOM). All simulations are executed on a 128-node IoT communication network generated as a power-law cluster graph. Each simulation is stored as an independent CSV file in pivoted format, where rows represent network nodes and columns represent temporal steps produced by the algorithm (event steps in the Gillespie method and iteration steps in the Monte Carlo method). The dataset is suitable for research on malware propagation, stochastic processes on networks, graph-based machine learning models, and cybersecurity analytics.
