    Just to clarify, are you looking for packet dumps to/from infected machines, packet dumps to/from C&C servers, or samples of the malware itself? – Polynomial Aug 07 '12 at 05:48
  • I am looking for packet dumps to/from infected machines but it will great to have malware samples for analysis. – Ali Ahmad Aug 07 '12 at 06:23

  • Hi, just wondering if you got any better sources than the ones listed in the answers below... I am looking for P2P-based botnet datasets in particular. – pnp Feb 22 '13 at 04:31
