They said that a pcap could contain unwanted private info. I don't know what pcap is though, tcpdump?

  they said pcap could contain "a lot more", so I was wondering what "lesser" private info WARC has

    Depends on what you’re archiving. Are you archiving a site with poorly protected authentication mechanisms? Something with personal data? In any case, it won’t have a bunch of internal network traffic that could be sensitive regardless of what you’re archiving.

    Anything that could ever appear in an http transaction. Which is to say, anything. This is like asking what possible sensitive information a piece of paper might have. If you just mean unseen info that wasn't obviously displayed right on the screen where the original user will know not to be careless with the archive of that page, the answer is still anything.
