Re: Testing Snort

[Andreas Östling <andreaso () it su se>]

You could check out what the rules are trying to catch, and construct/send
such packets with telnet/netcat/sendip or similar tools from a remote
system against a host watched by Snort, and see if Snort reacts.

For our convenience, someone wrote an IIS worm so we all could verify our
IIS rules very efficiently every 2 minutes.
