Global Security Resource
Packet Storm offers an abundant resource of up-to-date and historical security tools, exploits, and advisories. We are a non-profit organization comprised of security professionals that are dedicated to providing the information necessary to secure networks on a global scale. We accomplish this goal by publishing new security information on a global network of websites.
On the Network Battlefield
The ancient Chinese millitary master Sun Tzu said: "I say: Know your enemy and know yourself; in a hundred battles, you will never be defeated. When you are ignorant of the enemy but know yourself, your chances of winning or losing are equal. If ignorant both of your enemy and of yourself, you are sure to be defeated in every battle." This maxim applies to the battlefield that is today's modern network, just as it has to all of the battlefields throughout humanity's long and strife ridden history.
Packet Storm provides network security professionals, researchers, and all other interested individuals with the ability to analyze and learn from the tools, processes and mindsets of their opponents, as well as offering the tools needed to build and test defenses against them.
Full Disclosure Charter
Full disclosure of security issues is the only effective way to both push the development of secure software and to
ensure that issues are rapidly identified and resolved. To that end, Packet Storm is firmly commited to archiving and providing the most complete set of security tools and papers available to the technical community at large, irrespective of commercial, political, or any other bias.
Respecting the rights of legitimate researchers and national laws is paramount to providing a quality service, please review our copyright and privacy policies for more information.

| /// Global Mirrors |
Hosting a Mirror
If you are considering hosting a mirror, please plan to have approximately 7 Gigabytes of storage available for Packet Storm content. We require that a minimal set of services be running on the server and that it must be "safe". Mirror sites must have a connection to the internet on the minimum of a T1, with an OC3 or higher being preferable. Additionally, we require contact information including a postal address and an "off hours" emergency contact phone number. All official mirror sites must have packetstorm in their host name (ie 'packetstorm.your_domain_name.com').
For more information about hosting a mirror, please send your inquiry to email:mirrors[at]packetstormsecurity.org along with the details of your hosting capability.
Official Mirror List
We'd like to thank everyone for offering mirrors and keeping the global security landscape thriving!
