CyberSecurity-100B

A large-scale, quality-filtered cybersecurity corpus extracted from Nemotron-CC-v2, designed for continual pre-training (CPT) of large language models on cybersecurity domain knowledge. Contains 4.4B+ English tokens and 46.4M Chinese tokens across quality-tiered and code-aware splits, with multi-signal scoring and structured metadata.

Dataset Summary

CyberSecurity-100B is produced by a multi-stage pipeline (cyberhunter) that extracts, scores, and categorizes cybersecurity-relevant content from the Nemotron-CC-v2 web crawl. The pipeline applies:

  1. Lexical recall filtering โ€” keyword and high-value-phrase matching with hard-negative exclusion
  2. ML-based cyber relevance scoring โ€” sklearn logistic regression classifier (v2)
  3. CPT-worthiness scoring โ€” rule-based quality assessment with grouped regex patterns
  4. Code-aware detection โ€” identifies 7 code/technical content types with false-positive control
  5. Topic classification โ€” 10 cybersecurity topic categories

The result is a quality-tiered, code-aware corpus optimized for continual pre-training of cybersecurity-capable LLMs.

Supported Tasks

  • Continual pre-training (CPT): Domain-adapt LLMs to cybersecurity
  • Language modeling: Pre-train or fine-tune on cybersecurity domain text
  • Security code generation: Train on code-aware splits (security rules, exploits, configurations)
  • Text classification: Leverage cyber_score and topic labels for downstream tasks
  • Information extraction: Extract IOCs, CVEs, TTPs using code detection metadata

Considerations

Academic Use Only

This dataset is compiled and distributed strictly for academic, non-commercial research purposes. Any commercial use, redistribution for profit, or application in commercial products is strictly prohibited without explicit written authorization. The research team receives no financial benefit from this dataset.

Disclaimer

The content in this dataset is extracted from publicly available web data and represents the views of the original authors, not the research team. The research team:

  • Does not endorse, verify, or guarantee the accuracy of any content
  • Does not take responsibility for any claims, opinions, or information in the dataset
  • Does not encourage or support the use of this information for unauthorized access or illegal activities
  • Makes no warranties, express or implied, regarding the dataset's fitness for any particular purpose

Security Risk Notice

This dataset contains technical information about vulnerabilities, exploitation methods, and offensive security techniques. While this information is already publicly available, users should be aware that:

  • Unauthorized use of exploit techniques against systems you do not own or have explicit permission to test is illegal in most jurisdictions
  • Responsible disclosure practices should be followed when discovering new vulnerabilities
  • Users must comply with all applicable local, national, and international laws
  • The dataset should only be used to improve defensive security capabilities

Licensing

The dataset compilation is released under Apache 2.0 for academic, non-commercial use. Individual content items originate from publicly available web data (Nemotron-CC-v2) and retain their original source licensing. Users must verify licensing for specific content before any redistribution. Commercial use is prohibited.

Biases

  • Language bias: Primarily English content; Chinese coverage is limited to Ultra-FineWeb-L3 ZH subset
  • Source bias: Content reflects the distribution of Nemotron-CC-v2's web crawl
  • Topic imbalance: malware_analysis and vulnerability dominate (~90% of scored docs)
  • Score calibration: Cyber scores are ML-predicted and may have domain-specific miscalibration
  • Code detection: Rule-based detection may miss implicit code references or flag false positives

Pipeline Details

The cyberhunter pipeline processes data in the following stages:

  1. Recall filtering โ€” Precompiled regex + frozenset keyword matching with hard-negative exclusion (0.2% recall rate from 88.2B docs)
  2. Lexical pre-ranking โ€” Cyber-relevant term frequency scoring with configurable threshold
  3. ML classification โ€” Logistic regression (sklearn) with embedding features for cyber relevance scoring
  4. Topic classification โ€” Rule-based topic assignment across 10 cybersecurity categories
  5. CPT-worthiness scoring โ€” Grouped regex alternation across 11 positive and 8 negative quality groups
  6. Code-aware detection โ€” 7 code type detectors with strong/weak indicator classification and false-positive control
  7. Code-aware CPT boost โ€” Quality score boost for code content in technical topics with cyber context

Chinese Cybersecurity Data (Ultra-FineWeb-L3)

The ZH splits are extracted from openbmb/Ultra-FineWeb-L3 (Chinese subset) using a dedicated Chinese pipeline:

  1. Chinese recall filtering โ€” 16 high-value phrases, 38 keywords, 17 URL keywords with auto language detection
  2. Chinese lexical pre-ranking โ€” 38 positive weights, 7 negative weights (e.g., ่ฟœ็จ‹ไปฃ็ ๆ‰ง่กŒ+3, ้ฃŸๅ“ๅฎ‰ๅ…จ-2)
  3. Chinese ML classification โ€” jieba word segmentation + TF-IDF (1-2gram, 500k features) + Logistic Regression (F1=0.998, PR-AUC=1.000)
  4. Topic classification โ€” 18 cybersecurity topic categories for Chinese content

ZH Split Statistics

Split Cyber Score Documents Est. Tokens
zh_high_precision >= 0.93 1,668 774,095 (~0.8M)
zh_balanced >= 0.78 21,202 7,401,893 (~7.4M)
zh_full_coverage >= 0.5 123,487 38,249,912 (~38.2M)

ZH Topic Distribution (full_coverage, score>=0.50)

The Chinese cybersecurity corpus covers diverse topics with the following distribution:

  • threat_intelligence, general_cybersecurity, vulnerability, exploit_writeup are the dominant categories
  • Also includes: application_security, malware_analysis, cryptography_security, network_security, ctf_training, security_tools, detection_engineering, identity_access, offensive_security, secure_coding, compliance_policy, incident_response, digital_forensics, cloud_security

ZH Data Schema

The ZH splits use the same schema as EN splits. The has_code and code-related fields default to False/0/[] as the Chinese pipeline does not yet run code-aware detection. The pipeline_version is set to cyberhunter_v2_zh.

ZH Classifier Details

  • Architecture: jieba word segmentation โ†’ TF-IDF (word-level 1-2gram, 500k max features) โ†’ Logistic Regression (C=1.0)
  • Training data: 25,000 positive (22 Chinese cybersecurity sources) + 50,000 negative (random Ultra-FineWeb ZH samples)
  • Validation: F1=0.998, PR-AUC=1.000, ROC-AUC=1.000
  • Threshold analysis: @0.93 precision=1.000 recall=0.911; @0.78 precision=0.998 recall=0.972; @0.50 precision=0.948 recall=0.993
