Backscatter-2007 (01/08/2007 to 11/29/2007)

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. Data collection is planned for one week in February, May, August and November in 2007, and the 2 day DITL 2007 measurement event in January. 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，简称DoS）攻击的纵向研究。当前数据集包含DoS攻击受害者为响应伪造攻击流量而发送的IPv4数据包。上述来自受害者的反向散射流量由UCSD网络望远镜采集。数据采集计划于2007年2月、5月、8月及11月各开展一周，同时还将在1月举办为期2天的DITL 2007测量活动。该数据集的潜在应用场景包括：对DoS攻击进行建模、分析受害者群体特征，以及借助真实数据包迹线验证恶意流量检测或分类算法。最后一类应用场景尤为珍贵，因为人工复现互联网上存在的这类真实网络噪声极具挑战性。
