Re: Snort against DARPA 1999 Dataset

[Zahra Hakimi <zhr.hakimi () gmail com>]

I've used of DARPA data set because of two reasons:

1. Because of its good documentation about attacks. I couldn't find any
data set that has documents same as DARPA data set. Its documentation helps
me to calculate false positives and detection rate.

2. Because of its popularity. It is used by many papers and it helps me to
compare my method with other methods.

Do you know any newer dataset that can help me in this case?

Regards,
Hakimi
