Comidds: Survey of Enterprise Host and Network Intrusion Datasets

Comidds is a survey of host-based and network-based intrusion detection datasets focused on enterprise networks, maintained by fkie-cad. Updated as of January 2026, it aggregates resources for cybersecurity research including netflow and event logs.

Use Cases

• Training machine learning models for intrusion detection using netflow features
• Analyzing host-based event logs to identify lateral movement in enterprise environments
• Benchmarking cybersecurity algorithms across multiple standardized network traffic datasets

Strengths

• Focuses on enterprise network environments
• Aggregates both host-based and network-based data sources
• Released under the permissive MIT license

Limitations

• Acts as a survey/index, meaning data formats vary between the individual datasets listed
• Lack of a unified schema across all referenced sources
