Anomalous data refers to data that is unusual from normal distributions. Thus, detecting anomalies is an important task for network security, anomalous packets or requests can be flagged as errors or potential attacks.
In this example, we will use the KDD-99 dataset (can be downloaded here: http://kdd.ics.uci.edu/databases/kddcup99/kddcup99.html ). A number of columns will be filtered out based on certain criteria of the data points. This will help us understand the example.

INPUT = "C:/Users/rezkar/Downloads/kddcup.data" ...
