# CIC-IDS-2017 Dataset

This repository contains the [CIC-IDS-2017 dataset](https://www.unb.ca/cic/datasets/ids-2017.html) with the original PCAPs and the CSVs converted to Parquet format for easier use.

## Dataset Structure

### Configurations

1. **`machine_learning`**: Contains the flow-based features used for ML training (Converted from `MachineLearningCVE` CSVs).
2. **`traffic_labels`**: Contains the labelled flows (Converted from `TrafficLabelling` CSVs). Timestamps have been normalized to UTC.

### Raw Data

The `pcap/` folder contains the original PCAP files. These are not part of the Hugging Face Dataset Viewer but can be downloaded via Git LFS.

## License

_(Copied from original dataset License section)_

The **CICIDS2017** dataset consists of labeled network flows, including full packet payloads in pcap format, the corresponding profiles and the labeled flows (GeneratedLabelledFlows.zip) and CSV files for machine and deep learning purpose (MachineLearningCSV.zip) are publicly available for researchers. If you are using our dataset, you should cite our related paper which outlining the details of the dataset and its underlying principles:
