Boss of the SOC (BOTS) Dataset Version 3 is a sample security dataset and CTF platform designed for information security professionals, researchers, students, and enthusiasts. The dataset comes in a pre-indexed Splunk format with a size of 320.1MB and includes various security-related data sourcetypes. It provides realistic security data that can be used for training, research, and educational purposes. Installation requires Splunk Enterprise along with specific apps and add-ons. The dataset is distributed as a pre-indexed format, eliminating volume-based licensing concerns. Once installed, users can access the data by searching "index=botsv3 earliest=0" within Splunk. The platform also includes CTF scoreboard software available through a separate GitHub repository. Previous versions (BOTS v1 and v2) are available as separate datasets for users who need access to earlier iterations.
