Re: how to test snort rules?

[Kevin Ross <kevross33 () googlemail com>]

You could also look at openpacket.org and set snort to read the packet in
(make sure you haven't set your $HOME_NET variable and to test it so it will
fire on any IP though in practice you should have your $HOME_NET set and
then EXTERNAL_NET !HOME_NET so it considers everything else non-internal). I
would also advise using the emergingthreats snort rules (google them) for
some free rules which cover a lot of malware, command and control, known
hostile IP address, exploits, scanners and so on. You could also look on
sites like exploit-db.com for vulnerabilities which are covered to test them
from another system.
