Packet Storm Security is a website offering current and historical computer security tools[1], exploits [2], and security advisories. It is operated by a group of security enthusiasts that publish new security information [3] and offer tools for educational and testing purposes.[4] The site was originally created by Ken Williams who sold it in 1999 to Kroll O'Gara [5] and just over a year later, it was given back to the security community. [6] While at Kroll O'Gara, Packet Storm awarded Mixter [7] $10,000 in a whitepaper contest dedicated to the mitigation of distributed denial of service attacks [8].
