Descriptor: Deakin IoT Traffic (D-IoT)

This work presents the Deakin Internet of Things (IoT) Traffic dataset comprising of packets emitted by IoT devices, each having different functions and behaviors. In total, 112 million packets were collected over 119 days from 24 IoT devices. Of the 24 IoT devices, 19 are distinct. The collected packets are stored in packet capture (PCAP) files, preserving a wide array of network protocols such as DHCP, ARP, DNS, HTTP, and other TCP/UDP-based applications, which enable a detailed analysis of communication patterns. Alongside the IoT PCAP files, we provide the full PCAP files, which contain traffic from 36 non-IoT devices. In addition to the PCAP files, the dataset includes a CSV file that maps each IoT device to its unique MAC address, simplifying device-specific analysis. To assist researchers, Python scripts are provided for extracting and processing packets, demonstrating ways to leverage the data for various applications. This dataset is valuable for a wide range of research purposes: it enables researchers to study and differentiate network behaviors based on device function, supports behavior-based profiling for anomaly detection, and provides a foundation for designing IoT-tailored network policies.
