+===========
+
+This is the network archaeology category.  Puzzles center around pulling
+something out of a pcap file.
+ 
+* Base64-encoded plaintext
+
+* Image in pcap of HTTP
+* Image in pcap of SMTP
+* Image in pcap of proto b
+* Image in pcap of out-of-order proto b
+* Image in pcap of out-of-order w/NAK proto b
+
+* Base64-encoded single-byte xor
+* Base64-encoded 4-byte xor
+* Base64-encoded 16-byte xor
+
+* Image in pcap of 1-byte xor out-of-order w/NAK w/filler proto c
+* Image in pcap of proto d, plus a token in the text
+* Image in pcap of proto e, token in the text, and token in zip file
+
