LBNL-FTP-PKT

Description
The traces released here contain all incoming anonymous FTP connections (i.e. to port 21) to public FTP servers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory during a ten-day period.
Format
The traces are in tcpdump format.
Measurement
The trace ran from Jan 10-19, 2003, containing 22 thousand connections and 3.2 million packets. The connections are between 320 distinct servers and 5832 distinct clients.
Privacy
The traces have been "sanitized" using the Bro anonymizer to remove private information, such as passwords and remote client identity.
The description of the tool can be found in the publication below, and the detailed anonymization scheme is described here.
Acknowledgements
