# attacks-monthly

## 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

```python
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}%)")
```

- **Average record size**: ~11950 bytes
- **Feature completeness**: 100.0%

## Ethical Considerations

This dataset contains real honeypot data representing actual attack attempts. Users should:

- **Privacy**: Respect anonymization measures implemented in the dataset
- **Research Use**: Use data only for legitimate cybersecurity research and education
- **Responsible Disclosure**: Follow responsible disclosure practices for any findings
- **Legal Compliance**: Comply with applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction
- **No Reidentification**: Do not attempt to identify or contact attackers
- **Defensive Purpose**: Use insights for defensive security improvements only
