DDoS Attack Dataset in AMI using CICFlowMeter

Smart grid, an application of Internet of Things (IoT) is modern power grid that encompasses power and communication network from generation to utilization. Home Area Network (HAN), Field or Neighborhood Area Network (FAN/NAN) and Wide Area network (NAN) using Wireless LAN and Wireless/Wired WAN protocols are employed from generation to utilization . Advanced Metering Infrastructure, a utilization side infrastructure facilitates communication between smart meters and the server where energy efficient protocols are mandate to support smart grid . Under such circumstance, the smart devices involved in bidirectional communication is prone to diverse cyber threats due to diversity of devices, protocols, application programming interfaces and light weight cryptographic algorithms. Among the cyber threats, Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is one of the prominent threats that would result in unavailability of service.
