Why? There's already existing webservice which is offering what we need, with existing community, why we should have our own?
What about having a cloudshark system for wireshark, like cloud.wireshark.org? This could be used as a repository for the cpature file archive.
I really don't see the point, there's already one -- pcapr, If cloudshark guys/ you want to create another one feel free. Actually it should be already doable by cloudshark guys. They have all infrastucture for doing it. Just add checkbox when uploading: [This capture file is public and licensed under public domain]
As I mentioned, the guys at cloudshark.org (presumably) offered to provide a cloudshark system to the wireshark dev team.
I don't see much sense if you're targeting wireshark dev team, at least for me: - Is cloudshark offering any backtrace in case tshark terminated? - Is cloudshark offering coverage information of protocols fields? (pcapr does: http://www.pcapr.net/browse/fields) - Can I search for specific protocol field (not only protocol)? (pcapr can: http://www.pcapr.net/browse?field=104apci.apdulen) - Can I compare output of tshark version A and tshark version B? (regression testing) - Can I edit capture files with cloudshark, or use it for fuzz testing? Cloudshark also won't help much with bugs fixing (which is why these captures files are in BTS) I need to download capture file, patch wireshark, recompile, test if it's working, commit. And if we're talking about using it for BTS, primary question is: does cloudshark use any sandboxing mechanism? If you're targeting wireshark community it's another matter. But what's the point having cloudshark.wireshark.org and cloudshark.org which offers exactly the same service?
