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
It all depends of what NIDS you are talking about. For snort I use a combination of Nessus checks, the Metasploit project, a set of exploits I've been taking from the web and my own fabricated attacks with hping2, nmap or whatever I think could be useful. I know there are commercial applications that can do this job, but I can't afford them and the combination I have cited works quite well. To see how much packets it can eat at a time I watch the snort logs but until now I have not made really serious work in that aspect so I can't give you advise. -- Jose Maria Lopez Hernandez Director Tecnico de bgSEC jkerouac () bgsec com bgSEC Seguridad y Consultoria de Sistemas Informaticos http://www.bgsec.com ESPAÑA The only people for me are the mad ones -- the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow Roman candles. -- Jack Kerouac, "On the Road" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ethical Hacking at the InfoSec Institute.
