CoAP-DoS: An IoT Network Intrusion Dataset
The need for secure Internet of Things (IoT) devices is growing as IoT
devices are becoming more integrated into vital networks. Many systems rely on
these devices to remain available and provide reliable service. Denial of
service attacks against IoT devices are a real threat due to the fact these low
power devices are very susceptible to denial-of-service attacks. Machine
learning enabled network intrusion detection systems are effective at
identifying new threats, but they require a large amount of data to work well.
There are many network traffic data sets but very few that focus on IoT network
traffic. Within the IoT network data sets there is a lack of CoAP denial of
service data. We propose a novel data set covering this gap. We develop a new
data set by collecting network traffic from real CoAP denial of service attacks
and compare the data on multiple different machine learning classifiers. We
show that the data set is effective on many classifiers.
