A Network Data Abstraction Method for Data Set Verification

Network data sets are often used for evaluating the performance of intrusion detection systems and intrusion prevention systems[1]. The KDD CUP 99' data set, which was modeled after MIT Lincoln laboratory network data has been a popular network data set used for evaluation network intrusion detection algorithm and system. However, many points at issues have been discovered concerning the modeling method of the KDD CUP 99' data. This paper proposed both a measure to compare the similarities between two data groups and an optimization method to efficiently modeled data sets with the proposed measure. Then, both similarities between KDD CUP 99' and MIT Lincoln laboratory data that between our composed data set from the MIT Lincoln laboratory data and MIT Lincoln laboratory are compared quantitatively.
