He's been advertising for months that he has these PCAPS and he was going to show them to us this week. If you really had absolute proof of a crime, would you advertise that you had them before they were made public? I think not. Perhaps what he has is not PCAPS but something completely different and he's been sending blackhats on a wild goose chase for months looking for PCAPS.
Perhaps the data that he showed us with the before and after server images are the goods we should be focusing on. He has an elected county official that stands by them and is a witness to the coverup. What if those images are enough to prove that fraud occurred? Maybe CO will be the first state to decertify their election. That would be a hoot.
Tina Peters is a hero. She was not afraid, she knows she's right and she was fearless.
I'm actually an authority on the matter. I will try briefly to correct your misunderstands.
I could scratch the PCAP data in the sand of a beach with a twig and, if you knew what you were doing, you could dissect from there. Granted, that would not be the most efficient way to do it. The PCAP's were mainly available for the people in attendance at the event, particularly those who had appropriate credentials relevant to such data analysis. Among the reasons the data hasn't been made more readily available is the fact that we're talking about 37 TB of data. That is a MASSIVE amount of data and would cost a lot of money to host for everyone in the world to possibly download. And why bother when only an elite few with proper training/understanding can even make any sense of the data dump? In light of this reality, Mike streamed hexadecimal representations of the data during the event and on his sites. I'd like to see him release it as a web torrent, because I would like to have a look at the data, myself, as I actually know how to go about analyzing it.
To further explain, computers work only with bits represented as 0's and 1's. You can open a photograph or an executable in something like Notepad, if you like. However, how you look at digital data strongly affects how useful that data is and how easily you can work with it. Rarely is Notepad an effective tool for data analysis. But, for example, if I had all the PCAP's as hexadecimal numbers in a Notepad file, I could EASILY write a script to convert that ASCII text data to whatever format is most conducive to the analytical task at hand. This is because hexadecimal is just a convenient way of representing binary, and the PCAP's are ultimately just binary data that is only meaningful when viewed as PCAP's.
Hopefully this has clarified your understanding of the matter. It is a very complex topic, and it is to be expected that lay people will be inclined to many misunderstandings surrounding it.
