TestCloudIDS dataset

A key challenge in cybersecurity is the absence of a large-scale network dataset that accurately captures modern traffic patterns, diverse intrusion types, and comprehensive network activity. Existing benchmark datasets such as KDDCup99, NSL-KDD, GureKDD, and UNSW-NB15 require updates to reflect contemporary cyberattack signatures effectively.To address this gap, we introduce the TestCloudIDS dataset, a new labeled dataset featuring fifteen variants of DDoS attacks in a cloud environment. Unlike existing datasets that often lack realism and fail to encompass the latest attack strategies, TestCloudIDS is meticulously designed to mirror real-world scenarios. It incorporates a broad spectrum of attack situations using both traditional and modern vectors, emphasizing state-of-the-art techniques like Raven Storm.
