Re: Traffic generator

Hi Praveen

Can anyone of you let me know if there is any traffic
generator for generation tcp UDP and IP packets where
we can configure the packet..In snort signatures there
is a filed"Content" which shows the content of the
packet..

if you are only interested in creating network packets
which could rais an alert then maybe you should take
a look at fpg (false-positive-generator) which is part
of FLoP:

This little program will try to create a network
packet based on snort rules. Currently not all options
are useable, especially pcre, byte_test and byte_jump
do not work.

But note: To create TCP alerts you have to disable the
stream4 preprocessor. Otherwise all packets get discarded
because they are not part of an established session. But
of course ICMP, IP and UDP should still generate alerts.

Best regards

Dirk
