# The UNSW-NB15

The raw network packets (Pcap files) of the UNSW-NB 15 data set is created by the IXIA 
PerfectStorm tool in the Cyber Range Lab of the Australian Centre for Cyber Security (ACCS) 
for generating a hybrid of real modern normal activities and synthetic contemporary attack 
activities. The UNSW-NB15 source files are provided in different formats, Pcap files, BRO files, 
Argus Files and CSV files. The source files of the data set were divided based in the date of the 
simulation 22-1-2015 and 17-2-2015, respectively. The descriptions of these simulations are 
provided in the report files to show the network configurations and the actions of the attack types 
during the simulation

## How to Use it

 pip install datasets
 
 from datasets import load_dataset
 
 dataset = load_dataset("Mouwiya/UNSW-NB15")
