GridStratLLM Dataset

This dataset contains coordinated cyberattacks generated using the GridStratLLM agent framework against a hardware-in-the-loop testbed of a distributed generation environment.
It covers one normal operation and five attack datasets, each using a different LLM.
Every dataset captures network traffic, process data from SCADA, log messages, and metadata from the attack scripts.

Paper: https://doi.org/10.1145/3765611.3815147
GridStratLLM source code: https://github.com/nbke/GridStratLLM

Each dataset directory contains:

• attack_session_llm.parquet: LLM prompts, plans, chain-of-thought reasoning, token usage
• attack_worker.parquet: Network interface info (MAC, IP, interface name)
• packet_metadata.parquet: Packet metadata (timestamps, addresses, ports, protocol)
• packets.pcap: Raw packet capture
• attack_datamod_history.parquet: Packet modification log with delta values
• attack_exec_steps.parquet: Attack execution timeline per worker
• process_data.parquet: WinCC SCADA data
• logs.parquet: Logs from PLC 1512 and PLC 1516

See network.json for a list of network devices. modbus.json contains a mapping of Modbus registers to signal names.
s7_connections.json contains all signals transmitted via S7.

Parquet Files

attack_session_llm.parquet

The structure of the plan column is explained in appendix E of the paper.
coordinated is true if an attack session uses multiple attack workers.
The column all_messages may be NULL due to a data capture issue.

packet_metadata.parquet

The entries in packet_metadata.parquet are in the same order as packets.pcap.
If the UUID of a packet (id in packet_metadataparquet) is contained in the packet_id column in attack_datamod_history.parquet, then the packet originates from an attack script.

SCADA process data: process_data.parquet

PV:

• Control Signals: on_off
• Monitor Signals: temp_air, poa_direct, wind_speed, poa_diffuse, cell_temperature, inverter_ac_power, inverter_dc_power

Wind:

• Control Signals: blade_rotation, rotation_speed
• Monitor Signals: power, height, pressure, wind_speed_a, wind_speed_b, temperature_a, temperature_b

Battery:

• Control Signals: on_off, target_power
• Monitor Signals: current, voltage, temperature, state_of_charge, actual_charge_power

Log messages: logs.parquet

Log messages are in German and only sent when the signal value changes. Example:

Wertänderung "SysLogDaten".Inverter_ac_power Altwert: 239,0 aktueller Wert: 20,0 CPU:SECCPU16

DuckDB File: merged_datasets.duckdb

The combined merged_datasets.duckdb file contains all data from the Parquet files plus raw packet data.
Differences from the Parquet files:

• process_data is split into four tables: wind_process_data, pv_process_data, battery_process_data, demand_process_data (one column per signal instead of JSON values).
• attack_session_llm is renamed to attack_session.
• attack_exec_steps is renamed to exec_steps and setup_duration is stored as an interval instead of a bigint.
• packet_metadata is renamed to packets. The packets from the PCAP files are stored in the raw_packet BLOB column.
  The l2_flow_id, l3_flow_id, and l4_flow_id columns are omitted, which are always null in the Parquet files.
• id columns use uuid type instead of blob.
• Categorical columns (model_name, transport, state, kind, etc.) use DuckDB enum types instead of string.

Column name prefix for process data tables:

• C_: Control signals (commands sent to power plants)
• M_: Monitor signals (measured values sent to SCADA)
