List of Datasets publicly announced at IEEE Dataport

  1. NIMS BENIGN DATASET 2024-2 dataset comprises data captured from Consumer IoT devices, depicting three primary real-life states (Power-up, Idle, and Active) experienced by everyday users. By Dec 2024, the dataset has been accessed by 71+ users. (https://ieee-dataport.org/documents/nims-benign-dataset-2024-2)
  2. DALHOUSIE NIMS LAB IOT 2024 DATASET, generated under use case two, is available on the lEEE DataPort open library. This dataset presents real-world IoT device traffic captured under a scenario termed “Active,” reflecting typical usage patterns encountered by everyday users. By Dec 2024, the dataset has been accessed by 630+ users. (https://ieee-dataport.org/documents/dalhousie-nims-lab-iot-2024-dataset)
  3. ENCRYPTED MOBILE INSTANT MESSAGING TRAFFIC DATASET, generated under use case one, is available on the IEEE DataPort open library. The dataset has been accessed by 1323+ users by Dec 2024. (https://ieee-dataport.org/documents/encrypted-mobile-instant-messaging-traffic-dataset) 
  4. Encrypted Network Traffic Analysis: IoT/Non-IoT and cyberattack dataset, generated under use case two, is described in https://zenodo.org/records/14802737. This dataset consists of PCAP (Packet Capture) files containing network traffic from IoT devices. The traffic may include normal activity as well as cyberattacks originating from one or more IoT sensors. The dataset is designed to support research in network security, intrusion detection, and anomaly detection in IoT environments.
