A spatial data set of 21,434 random samples was generated, spreading evenly across 625 locations, u_i=(u_i, v_i ) (i=1,2,⋯,625). The data-generating process was inspired by that used by Fotheringham et al. (2017). For each data point, four independent variables (g_1,g_2,x_1,z_1) were generated according to a multivariate normal distribution with zero means and an identity variance-covariance matrix. However, the mean of g_1 and g_2 at each location were substituted for the original values to simulate group-level spatial-related variables. Among them, x_1 and z_1 were regarded as sample-level variables. Samples located together share coefficient values.

Introduction

This datasets have SQL injection attacks (SLQIA) as malicious Netflow data. The attacks carried out are SQL injection for Union Query and Blind SQL injection. To perform the attacks, the SQLMAP tool has been used.

NetFlow traffic has generated using DOROTHEA (DOcker-based fRamework fOr gaTHering nEtflow trAffic). NetFlow is a network protocol developed by Cisco for the collection and monitoring of network traffic flow data generated. A flow is defined as a unidirectional sequence of packets with some common properties that pass through a network device.

Datasets

The firts dataset was colleted to train the detection models (D1) and other collected using different attacks than those used in training to test the models and ensure their generalization (D2).

The datasets contain both benign and malicious traffic. All collected datasets are balanced.

The version of NetFlow used to build the datasets is 5.

Infrastructure and implementation

Two sets of flow data were collected with DOROTHEA. DOROTHEA is a Docker-based framework for NetFlow data collection. It allows you to build interconnected virtual networks to generate and collect flow data using the NetFlow protocol. In DOROTHEA, network traffic packets are sent to a NetFlow generator that has a sensor ipt_netflow installed. The sensor consists of a module for the Linux kernel using Iptables, which processes the packets and converts them to NetFlow flows.

DOROTHEA is configured to use Netflow V5 and export the flow after it is inactive for 15 seconds or after the flow is active for 1800 seconds (30 minutes)

Benign traffic generation nodes simulate network traffic generated by real users, performing tasks such as searching in web browsers, sending emails, or establishing Secure Shell (SSH) connections. Such tasks run as Python scripts. Users may customize them or even incorporate their own. The network traffic is managed by a gateway that performs two main tasks. On the one hand, it routes packets to the Internet. On the other hand, it sends it to a NetFlow data generation node (this process is carried out similarly to packets received from the Internet).

The malicious traffic collected (SQLI attacks) was performed using SQLMAP. SQLMAP is a penetration tool used to automate the process of detecting and exploiting SQL injection vulnerabilities.

The attacks were executed on 16 nodes and launch SQLMAP with the parameters of the following table.

Every node executed SQLIA on 200 victim nodes. The victim nodes had deployed a web form vulnerable to Union-type injection attacks, which was connected to the MYSQL or SQLServer database engines (50% of the victim nodes deployed MySQL and the other 50% deployed SQLServer).

The web service was accessible from ports 443 and 80, which are the ports typically used to deploy web services. The IP address space was 182.168.1.1/24 for the benign and malicious traffic-generating nodes. For victim nodes, the address space was 126.52.30.0/24. The malicious traffic in the test sets was collected under different conditions. For D1, SQLIA was performed using Union attacks on the MySQL and SQLServer databases.

However, for D2, BlindSQL SQLIAs were performed against the web form connected to a PostgreSQL database. The IP address spaces of the networks were also different from those of D1. In D2, the IP address space was 152.148.48.1/24 for benign and malicious traffic generating nodes and 140.30.20.1/24 for victim nodes.

To run the MySQL server we ran MariaDB version 10.4.12. Microsoft SQL Server 2017 Express and PostgreSQL version 13 were used.

For many real-world problems, there exist non-deterministic heuristics which generate valid but possibly sub-optimal solutions. The program optimisation with dependency injection method, introduced here, allows such a heuristic to be placed under evolutionary control, allowing search for the optimum. Essentially, the heuristic is “fooled” into using a genome, supplied by a genetic algorithm, in place of the output of its random number generator. The method is demonstrated with generative heuristics in the domains of 3D design and communications network design. It is also used in novel approaches to genetic programming. 16th European Conference, EuroGP 2013, Vienna, Austria, April 3-5, 2013 Author has checked copyright

Random numbers are an important resource for applications such as numerical simulation and secure communication. However, it is difficult to certify whether a physical random number generator is truly unpredictable. Here, we exploit the phenomenon of quantum nonlocality in a loophole-free photonic Bell test experiment for the generation of randomness that cannot be predicted within any physical theory that allows one to make independent measurement choices and prohibits superluminal signaling. To certify and quantify the randomness, we describe a new protocol that performs well in an experimental regime characterized by low violation of Bell inequalities. Applying an extractor function to our data, we obtained 256 new random bits, uniform to within 0.001. arXiv:1702.05178
