Hi all, I'm looking for tools that can test the effectiveness of an NIDS like: - How much load can it take before dropping packets ? - What attacks can it detect or not detect etc... Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
Tcpreplay from sourceforge.net will replay tcpdump files on to the wire at variable speeds (or as fast as it can go). Assuming you have attack signatures in tcpdump format it serves both purposes (NIDS testing is what tcpreplay was orignally developed for).
