Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) datasets with routing records collected from Reseaux IP Europeens (RIPE), BCNET, and Route Views

BGP datasets

Five well-known Border Gateway Anomalies (BGP) anomalies WannaCrypt, Moscow blackout, Slammer, Nimda, Code Red I, occurred in May 2017, May 2005, January 2003, September 2001, and July 2001, respectively. The Reseaux IP Europeens (RIPE) BGP update messages are publicly available from the Network Coordination Centre (NCC) and contain: WannaCrypt, Moscow blackout, Slammer, Nimda, Code Red I, and regular data: https://www.ripe.net/analyse/. Regular data are also collected from BCNET: http://www.bc.net/.
- WannaCrypt (WannaCry) is a cryptoworm ransomware that works by gaining administrative privileges and employs the EternalBlue exploit and DoublePulsar backdoor in systems running Microsoft Windows 7.
- The Chagino substation of the Moscow energy ring experienced a transformer failure on May 24, 2005 at 20:57 (MSK). The event caused a complete shutdown of the substation and a blackout that affected all customer until 16:00 (MSK) of May 26, 2005. During the blackout, the Internet traffic exchange point MSK-IX was disconnected from 11:00 to 17:00 (MSK).
- Slammer infected Microsoft SQL servers through a small piece of code that generated IP addresses at random. The number of infected machines doubled approximately every 9 seconds.
- Nimda exploited vulnerabilities in the Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) web servers for Internet Explorer 5. The worm propagated by sending an infected attachment that was automatically downloaded once the email was viewed.
- The Code Red I worm attacked Microsoft IIS web servers by replicating itself through IIS server weaknesses Unlike the Slammer worm, Code Red I searched for vulnerable servers to infect. The rate of infection was doubling every 37 minutes.

37 features are extracted from BGP update messages that originated from AS 513 (route collector rrc 04). The data collected during periods of Internet anomalies include:
- eight-day period for WannaCrypt (four days of the attack as well as two days prior and two days after the attack);
- five-day period for Moscow blackout, Slammer, and Code Red I (the day of the attack as well as two days prior and two days after the attack);
- six-day period for Nimda (two days of the attack as well as two days prior and two days after the attack). Note that there are 31 missing data points in the Nimda dataset.
