Nearly three years after the initial post describing the idea , I am happy to report that OpenPacket.org 1.0 is ready for public use, free of charge.
The mission of OpenPacket.org is to provide quality network traffic traces to researchers, analysts, and other members of the digital security community. One of the most difficult problems facing researchers, analysts, and others is understanding traffic carried by networks. At present there is no central repository of traces from which a student of network traffic could draw samples. OpenPacket.org will provide one possible solution to this problem.

For all the Snort, Wireshark, and TcpDump enthusiasts out there, OpenPacket.org provides fresh packets for research and analyzing purposes. Looking for a particular traffic pattern? Check out OpenPacket.org!
