Abstract: This widely used dataset was created in 1998. Tavalle et al performed the analysis on KDDCUP99 and pointed out some problems like redundancies so an improved version of KDDCUP99 dataset was created known as NSLKDD. The creators of NSL-KDD eliminated duplicates from KDDCUP99 and more sophisticated subsets were created. Now the new data set have approximately “150,000” data points and is splitted into testing & training sets for (ID) intrusion detection methods. The NSL-KDD belongs to the category other than packet and flow, and shares the similar attributes as KDD-CUP-99. The dataset is open to the public. There are approximately “4900000” single connection vectors in KDD training set, each having “41” features & labelled as attack or normal, with only “1” particular attack type.
