Hi Douglas,
I'm curious to know what everyone else uses for high speed packet generation. I'm not so much interested in single packets, but rather, something that can generate a lot of traffic. Noise is irrelevant, as I'm an looking to do IDS testing. I've looked a little at a few on freshmeat (packETH, pacgen, http_load) but have no experience with any of them. By high speed, I mean something that'll push 100Mb/s, and (hardware allowing) 1Gb/s Ideally, it would be nice to have something that emulated sessions between a couple of ip addresses, but I'll take a variety of packet generation.
the false-positive-generator fpg is able to generate false positive network packets based on a snort.conf file. This programs reads the rules of the snort.conf file and tries to generate a network packet with all parts necessary to generate an alert. The program is able to generate traffic much faster than your network (at least more than 100 Mb/s on an actual computer. I never had a gigabit network so far...) To compile the program you need libnet-1.1 or higher. The sources of fpg are part of the FLoP project (http://www.geschke-online.de/FLoP). On this page you can find a compiled version of fpg for linux/x86.
