It is very important for any detection system the ability to access balanced and diversified data to train the system. Intrusion data rarely have these characteristics, since samples of network traffic are strongly biased to normal traffic, being difficult to access traffic associated with intrusion events. Therefore, it is important to have a method to synthesize intrusion data with a probabilistic and behavioral structure similar to the original one. In this work we provide such a method. Intrusion data have continuous and categorical features, with a strongly unbalanced distribution of intrusion labels. That is the reason why we generate synthetic samples conditioned to the distribution of labels. That is, from a particular set of labels, we generate training samples associated with that set of labels, replicating the probabilistic structure of the original data that comes from those labels. We use a generative model based on a customized Variational Autoencoder (VAE), using the labels of the intrusion class as an additional input to the network. This modification provides an advantage, as we can readily generate new data using only the labels, without having to rely on training samples as canonical representatives for each label, which makes the generation process more reliable, less complex and faster. We show that the synthetic data are similar to the real data, and that the new synthesized data can be used to improve the performance scores of common machine learning classifiers.
