Snort Noob Question

[Jeremy Golden <goldenjc97 () gmail com>]

Hello: I am new to Snort and I have a question. I was given the assignment to install snort and get it up and running 
on my machine. I have done so, but I now need to launch some covert attacks on my system, analyze the data received 
form the IDS, develop a rule for a particular attack, and demonstrate that it works; and write up a report.Can anyone 
help me with what covert attacks to launch? And what kind of rules I would need to develop? I'm trying to get the hang 
of this stuff and no help from the professor. 

I really appreciate any help,

Jeremy
