CyberSecurity-100B
A large-scale, quality-filtered cybersecurity corpus extracted from Nemotron-CC-v2, Ultra-FineWeb, Fineweb-Edu-Chinese-V2.1, StarCoderData, and curated seed sources, designed for continual pre-training (CPT) of large language models on cybersecurity domain knowledge. Contains ~4.6B English text tokens, ~5.5B Chinese text tokens, ~4.7B code tokens, and ~0.84B seed tokens for a total of ~15.5B tokens across quality-tiered, code-aware, and language-specific splits with multi-signal scoring and structured metadata.
Access Agreement: This dataset is publicly accessible but gated. By clicking "Agree" you confirm you will use this data solely for academic, non-commercial research or defensive security purposes. You must provide your institutional or organizational email — personal email addresses (Gmail, Outlook, QQ, 163, etc.) will be rejected. The email must match your HuggingFace account for identity verification.
Security Notice: This dataset contains information about cybersecurity vulnerabilities, exploitation techniques, and offensive security methods. This information is already publicly available and is collected here solely for defensive security research and education. Misuse of this information to attack systems without authorization is illegal. Users must comply with all applicable laws and regulations.
Dataset Summary
CyberSecurity-100B is produced by a multi-stage pipeline (cyberhunter) that extracts, scores, and categorizes cybersecurity-relevant content from large-scale web crawls and code datasets. The pipeline applies:
- Lexical recall filtering — keyword and high-value-phrase matching with two-tier import system (core vs broad)
- ML-based cyber relevance scoring — sklearn logistic regression classifier (v2)
- CPT-worthiness scoring — rule-based quality assessment with grouped regex patterns
- Code-aware detection — identifies 7 code/technical content types with false-positive control
- Code cybersecurity mining — 30+ signals across source code, git commits, GitHub issues, Jupyter notebooks
- Topic classification — 10–18 cybersecurity topic categories
- MinHash near-dedup — Jaccard similarity deduplication at 0.85 threshold
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
- Curriculum midtraining: Use quality-tiered splits for staged training (foundation → implementation → offensive → mastery)

Pipeline Details
The cyberhunter pipeline processes data in the following stages:
Text Pipeline (EN/ZH)
- Recall filtering — Precompiled regex + frozenset keyword matching with hard-negative exclusion
- Lexical pre-ranking — Cyber-relevant term frequency scoring with configurable threshold
- ML classification — Logistic regression (sklearn) with embedding features for cyber relevance scoring
- Topic classification — Rule-based topic assignment across 10–18 cybersecurity categories
- CPT-worthiness scoring — Grouped regex alternation across 11 positive and 8 negative quality groups
- Code-aware detection — 7 code type detectors with strong/weak indicator classification and false-positive control
- MinHash near-dedup — datasketch MinHashLSH at Jaccard >= 0.85 (shingle_size=5, num_perm=128)
English Pipeline
- Classifier: TF-IDF + Logistic Regression on English embeddings
- Source: Nemotron-CC-v2 (88.2B docs) + Ultra-FineWeb (1.16B docs)

- Source bias: Content reflects the distribution of underlying web crawls and code repositories
- Topic imbalance: malware_analysis and vulnerability dominate 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
- Formal verification languages: Alloy/TLA+ use security vocabulary in modeling contexts; partially mitigated by classifier
v6 Update: Code Cybersecurity Corpus from StarCoderData (2026-06-04)
Added 9 code splits mined from StarCoderData (290GB, 863 parquet files, 206.6M documents across 86+ programming languages).
Pipeline
- Two-tier recall filter: Core security imports (scapy, paramiko, ssh2, node-forge, helmet) + broad imports with keyword confirmation (crypto+CVE, tls+exploit) — 3.0% recall rate
- 30+ quality signals: Per document across 4 content types (source_code, git_commit, github_issue, jupyter)
- Classifier: TF-IDF (char_wb 3-5, 100K features) + LogisticRegression — ROC-AUC=0.982, PR-AUC=0.983
- 10-way corpus split: exploit_offensive, defensive_security, crypto_protocol, detection_rules, vulnerability_reports, vulnerability_fix_commits, security_config, security_analysis_notebooks, review_candidates, rejected
- Core splits all 100% >= 0.5 classifier score, 0% < 0.3 — high quality guaranteed

v5 Update: Curated Cybersecurity Seed Data (2026-06-03)
Added 196 seed splits from curated cybersecurity sources — vulnerability databases, exploit archives, CTF platforms, detection rule repositories, threat intelligence feeds, security media, and more. All seed data is confirmed cybersecurity-relevant with cyber_score=1.0, topic_confidence=1.0, and cpt_worthy_label="high".

v7 Update: Curriculum Learning & Deduplication (2026-06-06)
Added 4-stage curriculum indexes, Vulnerability Knowledge Chains (VKC), 5-layer deduplicated offensive data, and curriculum recipe for 27B-parameter cybersecurity CPT.
Curriculum v2 Indexes
4-stage Bloom's taxonomy curriculum with layered entry, difficulty scoring, and quality grading. Each stage directory contains an index.parquet (document index with source_path + row_index pointing to source data) and a manifest.json.
| Stage | Documents | Est. Tokens | Repeat Factor | Epochs | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
stage_1_foundation |
1,331,391 | ~0.48B | 2.0x | 1-2 | CVE databases, CWE knowledge, standards, vulnerability taxonomy |
stage_2_implementation |
21,690,804 | ~15.6B | 1.5x | 3-4 | Defensive code, detection rules, security configuration |
stage_3_analysis |
8,182,643 | ~14.5B | 1.2x | 5-6 | Threat intelligence, forensics, vulnerability analysis |
stage_4_offensive |
