"computer engineer did prove the packet captures were false"

Not exactly. If I may, facts:

The data that was distributed to, and downloaded by/for, the Lindell Challenge participants' examination, did not include any perceivable vote data.

Lindell's challenge: Participants could win if they proved that the data, provided by Lindell, WAS NOT real election data, according to rules the participants agreed to.

The data supplied, was a mixed bag of some info that could be read - but could not be proven to be vote data . . . plus a bunch of info that could not be read, because it was in raw RTF format that could not be reverse-engineered into any readable text.

Meaning, that mess could be reverse-engineered into HEX characters, but the HEX characters are in continuous, very, very long strings that frustrate conversion to sensible words.

Zeidman, re-considering the challenge rules, abandoned the effort to make sense of the data . . . and focused upon the fact, that there was NOTHING to prove that any of the information supplied at the Lindell Challenge, was "packet evidence from the 2020 election."

PS. I have the data. But no computer power, to allow long-term processing of the HEX strings, to see what sensible words may be found in the very large amount of HEX gibberish.

Thanks

Lindell and Dennis Montgomery could put an end to all of this debate, simply come forward with all the data, explain the process used to show the election was hacked by the Chinese.

What tools were used to decipher the data, basically show what no other person has been able to show what was in the data and the process used to reach that conclusion.

The central character in all this is Dennis Montgomery who has a history of making fraudulent claims, Mike Lindell was duped in this situation.

I appreciate your clarification

Clarifying/updating my reply nn - re "the data" - I have only what I downloaded:

You can download Bob Zeidman's August 2021 report about Mike Lindell's Cybersecurity Symposium, held in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, August 2021, in regard to the 2020 election:

https://www.zeidmanconsulting.com/download.htm
Scroll down to "A report for Mike Lindell's Election Fraud Challenge."
The downloaded file: "Zeidman expert report on alleged election fraud.zip"
Expanded, a folder: "Zeidman expert report on alleged election fraud"

That folder contains various files; in particular, Zeidman's report, a PDF file:

"Zeidman Expert Report on Mike Lindell's Challenge.pdf"

Therein, Mr. Zeidman goes into detail about his experience at Mike Lindell's symposium, including an explanation of what Zeidman means by the use of the word, "transformation." (Zeidman says in some news articles, that he "transformed" or performed a "transformation" of some files.) See pg. 8 of the PDF file:

"represented to us by Joshua Merritt and Colonel Phil Waldron that these were excerpts of packet data in hex format, which means it is binary data (typically PCAP file format) that has been converted to ASCII representations of hexadecimal numbers so that it can be read by a human. Opening the file Chinese_SourceIP_HEX.txt, in a text editor, the first line is the following hex numbers:
7B 5C 72 74 66 31 5C 61 6E 73 69 5C 61 6E 73 69"
[Zeidman continues: ] "converting these hexadecimal ASCII numbers to text results in the following string:"
{\rtf1\ansi\ansi

Overall, Bob Zeidman's report (including extra files [within the downloaded folder] that are supporting exhibits) - saved by Zeidman as RTF files - "so that it can be read by a human" - had no apparent PCAP files, and no apparent packet evidence from the 2020 election:

"Exhibit B - Chinese_SourceIP_HEX.rtf" is a long list of IP addresses.
"Exhibit G - mx-000123.csv.pdf" is a very long list of geo-locations around the world.
"Exhibit H - List of Other Files.pdf" is what it says, a list of 509 other files.
Other files are gibberish when viewed as RTF - EXAMPLE of the first RTF line from file "Exhibit D - Target_MachineID_HEX.rtf":

The HEX numbers might be code, but nobody came forth with some way to unravel the mystery and reveal election 2020 vote data.
