RE: Test scripts for NIDS

Any number of toolsets should work.  You could look at things like
initiating scans from NMAP, satan and vulnerability scanners.  Throughput
could be tested with a smartbits, ixia and other traffic generators.

Hi all,

I'm looking for tools that can test the effectiveness
of an NIDS like:

- How much load can it take before dropping packets ?
- What attacks can it detect or not detect

etc...

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
