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  Our evaluations of the existing eleven datasets since 1998 show that most are out of date and unreliable.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 Operates 13,000+ U.S. Stores, 84,000 Global Locations Under Japanese Ownership

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 Private Label '7-Select' Generates $2B+ with 3,000+ Products

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).

The company settled 22,836 homes (up 11%) while maintaining a strong balance sheet with approximately $2.5 billion in cash and cash equivalents.

NVR Reports Record 2024 Full-Year Results with 11% Revenue Growth

NVR reported first quarter 2025 net income decreased 24% and diluted earnings per share decreased 19% compared to Q1 2024. New orders decreased 12% to 5,345 units with cancellation rates rising to 16% from 13% in the prior year quarter, reflecting affordability challenges and macroeconomic uncertainty affecting the housing market.

New orders decreased 11% to 5,379 units, and mortgage banking income before tax decreased 34% to $29.6 million, primarily due to lower secondary marketing gains, highlighting continued challenges in the housing market.

NVR Second Quarter 2025 Earnings Fall 17% Amid Housing Market Softness

Despite industry headwinds, NVR's mortgage banking segment delivered strong 2024 performance with mortgage closed loan production increasing 9% to $6.26 billion and income before tax from the segment increasing 17% to $154.9 million from $132.8 million in 2023, demonstrating the value of NVR's vertically integrated business model.

NVR INC

Dwight C. Schar founded NVHomes, Inc. in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, specializing in single-family home construction. The company was modeled after Ryan Homes, where Schar had previously worked for over a decade in various leadership roles.

NVHomes Founded by Dwight Schar

Just three years after founding, NVHomes demonstrated strong market traction and operational excellence by achieving $1 million in annual earnings, validating the business model and positioning the company for rapid expansion.

Company Reaches $1 Million in Earnings

Through consistent execution and market expansion, NVHomes grew net income to nearly $14 million, doubling earnings annually during the early 1980s and establishing itself as a significant player in the Washington D.C. homebuilding market.

Earnings Grow to Nearly $14 Million

In a transformative leveraged buyout, Dwight Schar's NVHomes acquired Ryan Homes, his former employer founded in Pittsburgh in 1948, for $312 million. The company was renamed NVR LP, instantly becoming a multi-state homebuilder with significantly expanded geographic reach and brand recognition.

Acquisition of Ryan Homes for $312 Million

On April 6, 1992, as a result of the early 1990s recession and challenges from the highly leveraged Ryan Homes acquisition, NVR and some of its homebuilding subsidiaries filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. This difficult period would ultimately lead to fundamental business model changes.

Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Filing

In September 1993, NVR successfully emerged from bankruptcy protection and completed an initial public offering on the American Stock Exchange, becoming a public company with a restructured balance sheet and refined strategic focus on asset-light operations.

Emergence from Bankruptcy & IPO

NVR acquired Fox Ridge Homes, adding that competitor's brand to its portfolio and establishing a presence in Nashville, Tennessee. The acquisition expanded NVR's geographic footprint and diversified its market exposure across the Southeastern United States.

Fox Ridge Homes Acquisition

The company reorganized as NVR Inc., establishing a holding company structure for NVR Homes and NVR Financial Services. This reorganization streamlined operations and clarified the separation between homebuilding and mortgage banking segments.

Corporate Reorganization as NVR Inc.

Dwight Schar's legendary run as CEO came to an end as he transitioned to the board and passed leadership to the company's CFO Paul Saville. This succession marked the beginning of a new era while maintaining continuity in NVR's disciplined strategic approach.

Paul Saville Becomes CEO

NVR achieved a significant operational milestone by settling over 20,000 homes annually, demonstrating the company's scale, operational capacity, and strong market position across its 36 metropolitan areas in 16 states and Washington D.C.

Surpassed 20,000 Annual Home Settlements

On May 4, 2022, Eugene J. Bredow was appointed President and CEO, succeeding Paul Saville who became Executive Chairman. Bredow, who joined NVR in 2004 and served as President of NVR Mortgage since 2019, brought deep company knowledge and mortgage banking expertise to the CEO role.

Eugene Bredow Appointed CEO

NVR reported outstanding 2024 full-year results with consolidated revenues of $10.52 billion (up 11% from 2023) and net income of $1.68 billion (up 6%). The company settled 22,836 homes, an 11% increase, while maintaining approximately $2.5 billion in cash and cash equivalents.

Record Full-Year Financial Performance

NVR reported first quarter 2025 results showing net income decreased 24% and new orders decreased 12% to 5,345 units compared to Q1 2024, with cancellation rates rising to 16% from 13%. The results reflected affordability challenges and macroeconomic uncertainty affecting the housing market.
