RE: IPS test machine

This kind of topology proves useful in unit testing an IDS under
development. You can replay captured attack files/normal traffic files
using tools like Tomahawk. http://tomahawk.sourceforge.net/

Subject: IPS test machine

I am wondering how others are using a single machine with 2 dedicated
test
nics. I want to send data from one interface to another using the wires
and
not the loopback interface. Specifically I want to try to use analysis
software from 10.1.1.1 on interface A through the IPS and back to
interface
B where I will be listening. The purpose is to test an IPS I have. Any
ideas?
