About The Project

This is a development project based on an existing work. Following the model architecture, parameters, and utilizing some datasets mentioned in the original paper, the goal is to implement the experimental results. However, performance matching the paper cannot be guaranteed. For simplicity in development, this project exclusively utilizes the ISCX VPN-non VPN dataset and follows the preprocessing methods outlined in the paper. Finally, the model is trained according to the parameters specified in the paper.

Built With

PyTorch W&B

Getting Started

Build the Python environment on either cloud or on-premises machines. To facilitate model training, please follow these simple example steps.

Prerequisites

  • Install python packages
    pip install requirements.txt
  • Download ISCX VPN-non VPN dataset from here.

Usage

  • Preprocess ISCX VPN-non VPN data through a Makefile

    • Several pickle files would be generated in data/
      make preprocess
  • To execute various model training tasks through a Makefile, follow the step below:

    • Execute all training jobs for each model
      make train-all
