I need to test my WAF. I want to set up a simple network in the lab like this:
XP or Linux client<-->  WAF<-->  Honeypot/test webserver

1) Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can use to simulate/generate attacks/suspicous traffic towards the 
weberver from my client?

How about a web app security scanner?
Skipfish, WebSecurify, W3af?
2) Is there a honeypot image out there that I can download that would be good to be the role of my test
webserver?
You don't need to do that, just setup Linux in a VM and use tcpdump to dump the traffic into a file for later analysis. If you want to analyze the traffic that is...otherwise a simple Linux VM will suffice.

Cheers,
Tasos.


Any suggestions or ideas are very much appreciated.
