Hi,

I uploaded some captures from various places to
http://www.aa-security.de/dumps. Some are taken from the ethereal site
and some are from other places (I hope I didn't use any copyrighted
captures).

I'd like to add alot of more capture files to this site, if anyone
has public captures he wants to share, please send me some lines.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
| Please send me capture files of test-networks only and make sure |
| you didn't capture any sensible data (passwords for example)!    |
--------------------------------------------------------------------

If I have enough files, I'll create a simple homepage describing each
capture. I'll also convert the captures to various other formats.



Thank you,
Martin Kluge
