According to this Slashdot post (which can certainly be 100% false),
the Packet Storm files are being returned:

Dont know if this was posted already or not:
=======================
* S T A T E M E N T *
As a service to the Internet community, Harvard agreed to
host a Packet Storm Security Website for security-related
materials only. Without Harvard's knowledge, unrelated
content was put on the Harvard server, including
sexually-related material and personal attacks on an
individual not affiliated with the University. A Harvard
administrative site focused on security issues is not the
forum for this type of material. We are returning the content
on the site and hope that Packet Storm will make its
security tools available through its own Website.

Seems to me that harvard is giving Ken his site back.

It's probably a good idea to keep whatever copies of files anyone has
until this "statement" is confirmed.. I think it's a bit suspicious
that the author didn't provide the source of the text.
We'll see! Let's hope for the best.. and if it comes back, set up
several mirrors world-wide.
