Metasploit modules are labeled by CVE. We include CVE references in all the rules. Best advice I can give you. On Aug 24, 2012, at 10:47 AM, Pratik Narang <pratik.cse.bits () gmail com> wrote:
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.

So if 'content' checks are for "very specific malware" downloads, what other option do I have to do some testing with Snort rules?
