You can download the paper, "Benchmarking IDS" from http://www.nfr.com/publications/.

I don't have direct answers to your questions, but I believe Marcus Ranum 
wrote a good paper on testing IDS a while ago.  Can't seem to find the 
link to it right now.  :(

Hi, 

The Institute for Security and Open Methodologies (www.isecom.org) is 
preparing to release the next version of the OSSTMM (Open Source Security 
Testing Methodology Manual - www.osstmm.org) which among other things, 
provides remote testing steps for IDS effectivness and limitations.  We 
have 
also incorporated these tests into our open source training materials 
(OSSTMM Professional Security Tester).  I am working the next two weeks on 
the training materials to enhance the IDS testing training and give hands 
on.  I have some questions: 

Has anyone here done a training which teaches you to test IDS? 

What do you think is necessry for proper teaching of IDS testing? 

Have you used the OSSTMM for testing IDS effectiveness and do you have any 
comments? 

Thanks for whatever help you can provide! 

Sincerely, 
- -pete.
