Re: Test tools for IDS

[Muhammad Faisal Rauf Danka <mfrd () attitudex com>]

Apart from vulnerability scanners, following tools may assist you in stretching your scope for IDS Evaluation, Testing 
and Audit:

NIDSBENCH : http://packetstormsecurity.nl/UNIX/IDS/nidsbench/
STICK     : http://packetstormsecurity.nl/distributed/stick.tgz
SIDESTEP  : http://www.robertgraham.com/tmp/sidestep.html
IDSwakeup : http://www.hsc.fr/ressources/outils/idswakeup/

Their draft papers and guides will assist you more than the tools, interms of engaging custom signature attacks.

Hi,
Are there any good test suites available to test the IDS products for intrusion coverage. A few I am looking at are
1) Nessus scanner
2) IDS Informer

Are there any other freeware or licensed products that anyone has experience with?

TIA,
Raj
