As Packet Storm has added entries for decades from a variety of sources, researchers may join the site and want their relevant entries tied to their account. When you visit the profile of a given user, all entries tied to them will be linked under Associated Files.

If you already have files referencing your involvement with a given entry and the source name has an email address already associated with it, you can make an account with that same email address and then the associated entries will automatically be tied to your user account. As a security bonus — you can control whether or not your source email address is visible in file metadata based on your user controls. The page for a given source will also inherit any photo you upload.

If you need to link to a source name that does not have an email address tied to it, you can contact us directly and discuss how we can validate your identity and tie the findings to your user account. This can take time and we cannot guarantee success. However, if you have an established presence in the security community, it will be much easier for us to vet your inquiry and get comfort before assigning entries.
