Re: pcaps for triggering rules

[Pratik Narang <pratik.cse.bits () gmail com>]

eh...how about something with which i might be able to generate alerts
for the rules i want'?
Metasploit is indeed a very powerful and useful tool for the purpose i
have listed, but i guess i dont have that kind of experience to use it
in a controlled fashion. I mean - how will i know what attack to use
to trigger which alert???

And, when i wrote below that " what other option do I have to do some
testing with Snort rules", my intention was that if content checks are
not well suited for this purpose of testing rules, what other options
I have in Snort.
