    I am always somewhat wary of posted packet dumps.
    
      However, I would imagine that if you posted to a large list such as the
    incidents list or bugtraq, with a malicious packet dump, you would be
    found out quickly, and someone would notify the list.
    
      As a precaution, I personally use tcpdump -r <dumpfile> to read the
    file, and display the contents.  I look for strange protocols which have
    nothing to do with the trace, and will be wary of those.  Many of the
    security holes in ethereal are in lesser known protocols than http.
    
      Regarless, here is the packet dump:
