For anyone who wants to contribute a trace file but has concerns over
privacy, there is a utility called tcpdpriv that might help. Here's the
description from the man page:
Tcpdpriv removes sensitive information from a packet trace, replacing it
with contrived information from which the sensitive information cannot be
reconstructed. By removing the sensitive information, the output of
tcpdpriv may be shared with others (for debugging or network analysis,
say).
It can be found at
http://www.iprg.nokia.com/~minshall/sw/tcpdpriv/tcpdpriv.html .
I also have a copy at http://ethereal.zing.org/~gerald , along with a
patch to make it compile under Linux. This might not be a bad feature to
add to ethereal, either.
