Nessus is useful for this as it has thousands of checks that will generate a ton of attack traffic. The attacks are categorized by type, so you can limit the generated traffic to specific types of attacks (Windows, FTP, DoS, etc.). Metasploit can be used for very targeted attacks (specific exploits) which can be tweaked with different evasion options which is useful for testing IDSes. Both of these tools can be run from Windows. http://www.nessus.org/nessus/ http://metasploit.org/ Skyler Bingham GIAC {GSEC, GCIH, GCIA, GCFA}, CEH (602) 957-1650 x1139 listbounce () securityfocus com wrote on 12/02/2008 11:13:11 PM:
