Datasets are not Enough: Challenges in Labeling Network Traffic. (arXiv:2110.05977v2 [cs.CR] UPDATED)

In contrast to previous surveys, the present work is not focused on reviewing
the datasets used in the network security field. The fact is that many of the
available public labeled datasets represent the network behavior just for a
particular time period. Given the rate of change in malicious behavior and the
serious challenge to label, and maintain these datasets, they become quickly
obsolete. Therefore, this work is focused on the analysis of current labeling
methodologies applied to network-based data. …
