From the second article:
"Team Cymru’s products can also include data such as URLs visited, cookies, and PCAP data" Really? From Netflow? I admit, I'm perhaps a little behind on the latest netflow whiz-bangs, but I've never seen a netflow record type that included HTTP cookies or PCAP data before. Certainly, the products listed on the Team Cymru website don't make any mention of including cookies or PCAP data, at least not from what I've been able to ascertain from digging through their product listing. Is there some secret "off the menu" product that allows one to purchase a data feed that includes cookies and PCAP data? Matt
