Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPSs) are the most important defense tools against the sophisticated and ever-growing network attacks. Due to the lack of reliable test and validation datasets, anomaly-based intrusion detection approaches are suffering from consistent and accurate performance evolutions.  Our evaluations of the existing eleven datasets since 1998 show that most are out of date and unreliable. Some of these datasets suffer from the lack of traffic diversity and volumes, some do not cover the variety of known attacks, while others anonymize packet payload data, which cannot reflect the current trends. Some are also lacking feature set and metadata.  CICIDS2017 dataset contains benign and the most up-to-date common attacks, which resembles the true real-world data (PCAPs). It also includes the results of the network traffic analysis using CICFlowMeter with labeled flows based on the time stamp, source, and destination IPs, source and destination ports, protocols and attack (CSV files). Also available is the extracted features definition.  Generating realistic background traffic was our top priority in building this dataset. We have used our proposed B-Profile system (Sharafaldin, et al. 2016) to profile the abstract behavior of human interactions and generates naturalistic benign background traffic. For this dataset, we built the abstract behaviour of 25 users based on the HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, SSH, and email protocols.  The data capturing period started at 9 a.m., Monday, July 3, 2017 and ended at 5 p.m. on Friday July 7, 2017, for a total of 5 days. Monday is the normal day and only includes the benign traffic. The implemented attacks include Brute Force FTP, Brute Force SSH, DoS, Heartbleed, Web Attack, Infiltration, Botnet and DDoS. They have been executed both morning and afternoon on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

The War Inside 7-Eleven

7-Eleven, Inc. is an American convenience store chain, headquartered in Irving, Texas. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of Seven-Eleven Japan, which in turn is owned by the retail holdings company Seven & I Holdings, a Japanese retail holding company. The chain was founded in 1927 as the Southland Ice Company, operating an ice house storefront in Dallas. Then owned by Southland Corporation, the number of convenience stores expanded and were named Tote'm Stores between 1928 and 1946. Southland Corporation changed the stores' name to 7-Eleven in 1946, reflecting expanded hours of operation. Southland Corporation started franchising its stores in 1961; in 1973, Ito-Yokado, a Japanese supermarket chain, signed a franchisee agreement with Southland Corporation to develop 7-Eleven convenience stores in Japan.

7-Eleven operated 13,000+ locations across U.S. and Canada (9,300 franchised, 3,700 corporate) as of October 2024, making it America's largest convenience store chain. Parent company Seven & i Holdings (Japan) owned 84,000+ 7-Eleven stores globally across 20 countries, with highest density in Japan (21,000 stores), Thailand (13,000), U.S. (13,000), South Korea (11,000), China (4,000). U.S. operations generated estimated $20B+ annual revenue. Average U.S. store 2,500-3,000 sq ft, open 24/7, stocked 2,500-3,000 SKUs focused on immediate consumption: beverages, snacks, prepared food, tobacco, lottery, fuel. Franchise model: franchisees pay 57% of gross profit to 7-Eleven (high vs. industry 5-15%), but 7-Eleven covers rent, equipment, inventory—lowering franchisee capital requirements to $50K-150K.

7-Eleven's fresh and prepared food category exceeded $1 billion in annual U.S. sales, representing 15-18% of in-store revenue. Offerings included hot foods (pizza, taquitos, chicken wings, hot dogs on rollers), fresh sandwiches, salads, fruit cups, bakery items. 7-Eleven branded pizza became cult favorite—whole pizza $6.99-$8.99, outselling many dedicated pizza chains on per-location basis. Hot food program drove traffic during breakfast (breakfast sandwiches, coffee) and lunch (pizza slices, taquitos, chicken). Prepared food margins 40-50% vs. packaged goods 25-30%. Fresh initiative competed with fast-food chains, grocery delis, Wawa, Sheetz. Stores with expanded kitchens ('7-Eleven Evolution' format) tested restaurant-quality offerings.

7-Eleven Fresh Food Focus: $1B+ Pizza, Sandwiches, Hot Food Sales

7-Eleven's private label program '7-Select' generated over $2 billion in annual sales across 3,000+ SKUs spanning snacks, candy, beverages, dairy, bread, frozen meals, household items. Tiers included 7-Select (mainstream quality, lower price), 7-Select Go!Smart (better-for-you options), 7-Reserve (premium coffee, wine). Popular items: 7-Select chips, cookies, energy drinks, bottled water, pizza, ice cream. Private label offered 15-25% lower prices than national brands with comparable quality. Margins 10-15 percentage points higher than national brands. 7-Select represented 15-20% of merchandise sales. Strategy mirrored successful Japanese 7-Eleven model where private label dominated (40%+ of sales).

7-Eleven's Slurpee frozen carbonated beverage remained iconic product 60+ years after introduction (1967), generating estimated $200M+ annual U.S. sales. Average 7-Eleven sold 400-600 Slurpees daily during summer, 200-300 year-round. Machines offered 8-12 rotating flavors (Coca-Cola, Cherry, Blue Raspberry, Mountain Dew, seasonal varieties). Slurpee represented pure impulse purchase—high margins (75-85%), low ingredient costs ($0.15-0.25 per $1.50-2.50 drink). Annual 'Free Slurpee Day' (July 11 = 7/11) drew millions of customers, driving store traffic. Slurpee became cultural icon—referenced in movies, TV shows, memes. Competitors copied format (ICEE, Slush Puppie) but Slurpee maintained brand leadership.

7-Eleven operated fuel at 7,500+ U.S. locations (60% of store base) following $21 billion acquisition of Speedway gas stations/convenience stores from Marathon Petroleum (2021). Integration converted 3,800 Speedway locations to 7-Eleven branding by 2024. Fuel represented 60% of site revenue but just 10-15% of profit—low-margin business (2-5 cents/gallon) serving as traffic driver for high-margin in-store purchases. Average fuel customer spent additional $6-12 inside store. Fuel sites generated $3-4M total annual revenue (vs. non-fuel $1-2M). Speedway acquisition made 7-Eleven largest independent fuel retailer in U.S. (competing with Shell, BP, ExxonMobil).

Canadian convenience store giant Alimentation Couche-Tard (owner of Circle K) proposed $38.5 billion takeover of Seven & i Holdings, 7-Eleven's Japanese parent company, in August 2024. Deal would create world's largest convenience retailer with 140,000+ stores globally. Couche-Tard argued Seven & i undervalued, poorly managed, could benefit from operational improvements. Seven & i rejected offer as too low, citing regulatory concerns (antitrust), cultural fit issues, undervaluation. Activist investors supported sale. As of November 2024, negotiations ongoing with potential revised bid. If successful, acquisition would end 7-Eleven's Japanese ownership (since 1991) and consolidate global convenience market.

Japanese partner Ito-Yokado acquired 70% of Southland Corporation for $430M, rescuing 7-Eleven from bankruptcy. Ironic reversal—licensee became parent. Japanese management began transformation.

Invested in store remodels, fresh food programs, technology, operations. Closed underperforming locations, improved remaining stores. Reached 6,000 U.S. stores (down from 8,000 peak but higher quality).
