Backscatter-2006 (02/22/2006 to 11/30/2006)

Information useful for longitudinal study of denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. This dataset currently consists of IPv4 packets sent by DoS attack victims in response to spoofed attack traffic. This backscatter from victims was collected by the UCSD Network Telescope. Quarterly data collection took place for one week in February, May, August and November in 2006. Possible uses of this data include modeling DoS attacks, understanding victim populations, and using real packet traces to validate algorithms for detecting or classifying malicious traffic. This last use is particularly valuable because it is extremely challenging to artificially generate the kind of real-world noise present on the Internet.

本数据集可用于拒绝服务（Denial-of-Service, DoS）攻击的纵向研究。当前该数据集收录了拒绝服务攻击受害者针对伪造攻击流量所发送的IPv4（Internet Protocol Version 4）数据包。这类来自受害者的反向散射流量由加州大学圣地亚哥分校（University of California, San Diego, UCSD）网络望远镜采集。2006年的2月、5月、8月及11月，每季度开展为期一周的数据采集工作。该数据集的潜在应用方向包括：对拒绝服务攻击进行建模、剖析受害群体特征，以及利用真实数据包跟踪记录验证恶意流量检测或分类算法。最后一类应用场景尤为宝贵，这是因为人工复现互联网中存在的这类真实网络噪声极具挑战性。
