Ipal Datasets: Industrial IDS Benchmarks for SWaT, WADI, and HAI

fkie-cad provides this collection of industrial control system datasets formatted for the Industrial Protocol Abstraction Layer (IPAL) to facilitate intrusion detection system evaluation. Updated in January 2026, the repository aggregates data from several prominent testbeds including SWaT, WADI, and HAI.

Use Cases

• Evaluating industrial intrusion detection systems (IDS) using IPAL-formatted network traffic
• Benchmarking anomaly detection algorithms across different industrial testbeds like HAI and Electra
• Analyzing protocol-specific attacks on Modbus or IEC-104 communications

Strengths

• Standardized format using the IPAL abstraction layer
• Includes data from multiple recognized industrial testbeds like SWaT and WADI
• Supports multiple industrial protocols including Modbus, IEC-104, and S7

Limitations

• Specific row counts and feature lists are not provided in the metadata
• Dependent on the IPAL framework for full utility
