Anonymized Reactive Telescope Packet Captures

The following dataset is part of the work leading to our paper “Revealing Informed Scanners by Colocating Passive and Reactive Telescopes” appearing in the 28th International Symposium on Research in Attacks, Intrusions and Defenses (RAID 2025).

The dataset contains anonymized traces of scanning traffic targeting our reactive telescope between the months of mid-March and May 2024.
