I understand what they are supposed to be, but how did Mike get his hands on them? And how does he know what he has are legit?
To go along with that, does he have anyway of proving these are legit captures? or is that what this is supposed to prove?

Dr. Frank in his interview yesterday said they were acquired from the Space Force. You know they are legit because they can be corroborated by the IP addresses they contain. It would be an impossible task to falsify 37 terabytes of PCAP data.
They could fake data but it would be way to hard to get away with it. They could be selective but would get busted from mistakes. They are fucked either way. Sort of like the fake votes snd such.
Suicide weekend and arrests sre that much closer.
Definitely impossible to produce these PCAP's when you consider the complexity. It's not just the IP addresses, the data needs to perfectly reflect the real world live feeds which are public, so sequence of changes, size of changes, timing of changes, location of changes...and even then you need to have intimate knowledge of the systems which are being targeted which are proprietary....and all this work done perfectly, packaged and delivered in a little over 2 months
Despite all this, someone will eventually ask "Where did you get this load of crap from?". As ignorant as that question would be, it's loaded with doubt inducing deceit targeting the very people you're trying to convince.
I think the sheer number of tech security experts there will be sufficient to legitimise the data, but if it doesn't, they desperately needs some official acknowledgement that it was somehow collected by Space Force.
Taking and examining PCAPs is what I didn't in the AF before I got out a couple months ago. Watching this is like picking up amateur boxing and then watching Tyson or Merryweather go at it for my first time.
Yep, I was really taken aback about that. Space force is not another rocket man group, they are also-- Cyber space force.
You could covertly reroute/duplicate traffic for parts of the world's internet through a satellite hop and then sniff the contents flowing between ground and satellite station. If discovered, claim it was a configuration mistake.
Think prism.
Wirh operations like these, it is imperatieve bot tot divulge means and methods, though prism is already out.
Other methods may be in place, though.
Andere of course, there is still the Frankfurt servers.
Not sure why this was downvoted. Look up NSA PRISM program.
We've got Lieberman with brain interfacing nano transistors and you think making TCP/IP traffic look legit is the impossible thing to do?
if it's fake it'll be easy to debunk.
37 TB is huge. i wonder if they captured the complete packets (headers and payload). I would expect the payloads to be encrypted. of course space force might be able to decrypt the payloads using quantum computers. this movie is getting good!
