nidsbench announcement

[Dug Song <dugsong () anzen com>]

Anzen Computing is pleased to announce the initial release of
nidsbench, a network intrusion detection system test suite.

nidsbench is being published in the hopes that a more precise testing
methodology might be applied to network intrusion detection, which is
still a black art at best. 

This release of nidsbench includes:

fragrouter:

   Implement all IP fragmentation attacks outlined in T. Ptacek and
   T. Newsham's "Insertion, Evasion, and Denial of Service: Eluding
   Network Intrusion Detection" paper of January, 1998.

tcpreplay:

   Replay saved tcpdump(8) dumpfiles at arbitrary speeds.

nidsbench is published under a BSD-style license, and has been tested
on the following platforms:

   OpenBSD 2.x
   FreeBSD 3.x
   BSD/OS 2.x
   Linux (2.x kernels)
   Solaris 2.x (tcpreplay only)
