HookProbe Edge IDS Threat Telemetry

Real-world, anonymised threat verdicts from the HookProbe production edge intrusion-detection system. Unlike synthetic lab datasets (CICIDS2017, UNSW-NB15, Kitsune) this is what an actual edge sensor mesh observes on the open internet, labelled by the SENTINEL ensemble (isolation forest + calibrated naive-Bayes) that ships with HookProbe.

• Sensor: Raspberry Pi edge node + NAPSE AI-native flow classifier
• Enrichment: RDAP country + ASN lookups
• Labels: malicious / suspicious / benign with anomaly score 0–1
• Actions: block / throttle / cognitive_block / cognitive_throttle / escalate / alert / monitor / cognitive_none / none — emitted by the CNO cognitive-defense layer. cognitive_* variants indicate the decision came from the CNO synaptic controller rather than the static HYDRA rule path.

Schema

verdicts (primary)

column	type	description
timestamp_hour	timestamp[s]	UTC, truncated to the hour
src_ip_hash	string(16)	SHA-256(salt ∥ src_ip)[:16]. Pseudonymous.
country	string	ISO-3166-1 alpha-2
asn	uint32	Autonomous-system number (0 if unknown)
asn_name	string	ASN organisation name
anomaly_score	float32	Ensemble output, 0.0 benign – 1.0 malicious
verdict	enum	malicious | suspicious | benign
action_taken	enum	see Actions above — 9 possible values

aggregated (derived)

column	type	description
date	date32	UTC day
country, asn, asn_name	...	same semantics as primary
threat_count	uint32	total verdicts for that country/asn/day
malicious, suspicious, benign	uint32	per-class counts
avg_anomaly_score	float32	mean ensemble score

Privacy model

• IPs are hashed with a project salt that is not published. The hash is deterministic across releases so longitudinal analysis of attacker behaviour is preserved, but the mapping is one-way.
• Timestamps are truncated to the hour to prevent correlation against third-party logs with second-precision timestamps.
• No payload data is exposed — only verdicts and enrichment.

Data caveats

• The SENTINEL calibration window (2026-02-22 → 2026-03-09) is excluded by default. During that period the ensemble produced a ~98% false-positive rate, which was fixed in the 9-point SENTINEL release on 2026-03-09. Training on that window would mis-lead downstream models.
• Because the sensor is a single edge node, geographic and ASN distributions reflect what targets that specific deployment — not a global baseline. Treat skew accordingly.
