There is a need to convey information on sensitive networks and systems, specifically, those carrying classified information, to researchers lacking clearances. Sanitization or use of analogs allows for uncleared researchers to make contributions, but as detail is removed, data may become less useful. A number of approaches to feeding research with relevant data are described, including creation of realistic traffic from a national intelligence community network, and recommendations made for improving current practices
