Hello, 
 
From how much i have understood in snort is:
 
There are three modes of operations
    Sniffer Mode: which basically will sniff packets like tcpdump..
    Packet Logger Mode: which will log packets the packets dumped in the specified file or device.
    IDS Mode: It enables network intrusion detection (NIDS) mode.
 
OK..so far so good....
 
But I want to generate traffic. Can i use snort for that?
Suppose  i have records like
 SRC                         DEST
 196.37.75.158:1024 - 10.10.1.12:79
 197.182.91.233:1049 - 10.10.1.12:79
 197.182.91.233:1111 - 10.10.1.12:25
 135.8.60.182:1113 - 10.10.1.12:25
 10.10.1.12:1029 - 197.182.91.233:25
 10.10.1.12:1051 - 195.73.151.50:25
 10.10.1.12:1052 - 196.37.75.158:25
 10.10.1.12:1104 - 196.227.33.189:25
and i want to generate traffic from each source with that port no to its corresponding destination. Can i do that with 
snort????
 
I appreciate your help
Thanks
