Dataset Description

This dataset contains cybersecurity events collected from honeypot infrastructure.

The data has been processed and feature-engineered for machine learning applications in threat detection and security analytics.

Feature Categories

Network Features

• Connection flow statistics (bytes, packets, duration)
• Protocol-specific metrics
• Geographic information
• IP reputation data

Behavioral Features

• Session patterns and command sequences
• User-agent analysis
• Attack pattern identification
• Protocol fingerprinting

Temporal Features

• Time-based aggregations
• Frequency analysis
• Campaign detection indicators
• Attack timing patterns

Security Labels

• MITRE ATT&CK technique mappings
• Alert severity classifications
• Automatic threat categorization
• Binary maliciousness indicators

Usage Example

from datasets import load_dataset

# Load the dataset
dataset = load_dataset("pyToshka/attacks-monthly")
train_data = dataset["train"]

# Basic exploration
print("Dataset features:", list(train_data.features.keys()))
print("Total samples:", len(train_data))

from collections import Counter

# Example: Filter RDP attacks
rdp_events = train_data.filter(lambda x: x['app_proto'] == 'rdp')
print("RDP events:", len(rdp_events))

# Example: Analyze attack vectors
if len(rdp_events) > 0:
    attack_vectors = Counter([event['attack_vectors'] for event in rdp_events if event['attack_vectors']])
    print("RDP Attack vectors:")
    for vector, count in attack_vectors.most_common():
        print(f"  {vector}: {count}")

# Example: Analyze protocol distribution
protocols = Counter([event['app_proto'] for event in train_data if event['app_proto']])
print("Protocol distribution:")
for proto, count in protocols.most_common():
    print(f"  {proto if proto else '(empty)'}: {count}")

# Example: Malicious events analysis
malicious_count = sum(1 for event in train_data if event['is_malicious'])
print(f"Malicious events: {malicious_count}/{len(train_data)} ({malicious_count/len(train_data)*100:.1f}%)")
