ndss-reproducibility
Use when making an NDSS paper's results reconstructible — snapshotting live-network observations, pinning testbeds and toolchains, scrubbing traces that carry identities, and writing honest availability statements when ethics or vendor embargoes limit release.

# NDSS Reproducibility
Network-security results decay: targets patch, providers change behavior, botnets die, and
the population you measured in August is not the population of next March. Reproducibility
at NDSS therefore means two different promises, and conflating them is the classic mistake:
1. **Reconstruction** — anyone can re-derive your numbers from what you recorded.
2. **Re-execution** — anyone can re-run your pipeline against the world and get *their*
numbers, understanding why they differ from yours.
Promise (1) unconditionally. Promise (2) only where the world cooperates.
