Where to find a dataset for Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)?

I'm working on a project related to XSS and currently I need a dataset that I can run through WEKA for example, to test some classification algorithms. I've been searching for it on Google but no luck.

Please help me if you can, I would be very grateful.

Thank you

  • I am guessing you want to do something along the lines of running web traffic through a binary classifier for identifying XSS attacks? This paper titled "Multiclass Classification of XSS Web Page Attack using Machine Learning Techniques" by Krishnaveni & Sathiyakumari mentions the XSSed dataset that contains URLs with XSS vulnerabilities. You would also need a dataset of URLs that doesn't have XSS attacks (could be clean, have other types of attacks, etc.)
