while i cannot remember the name of the tool i am thinking of, there is, as was 
pointed out to me some time ago, a tool that can craft a pcap specific to the 
rule you are wanting to test...

i'm pretty sure that someone will pop up with the name if this tool but if they 
do not in a few days, let me know and i will search my several years of archives 
to find it ;)
