Hi there,

I am a newbie in this forum. I am more concerned on Auritficial Intelligence 
(Machine Learning) techniques rather than the IDS itself. However, I would like 
to test some machine learning techniques (Neural Networks, ...) in the domain 
of IDS, i.e. use AI to analyse some available datasets of intrusions. 

I found the IDS data published by MIT & DARPA 
(http://www.ll.mit.edu/IST/ideval/) which is quite wellknown I suppose. I have 
the following questions:

1. This dataset was published since 1999, which is quite long time ago. 
However, since then, there is no other "wellknown" dataset of IDS published. I 
would like to ask if there is some good IDS datasets (ready for AI techniques) 
but I am not aware of? 

2. What is tcp-dump? What I got from the DARPA dataset was a text file with 
several lines, each line has several attributes separated by commas. How an IDS 
can understand this text file? I am confusing between the AI-ready datasets 
(text files that are preprocessed) and the files generated originally from a 
real IDS.

Thanks

Patrick Tran
