Hello,

In response to your question I just wrote my next Traffic Talk article
explaining how to use Metasploit's db_autopwn functionality to conduct
such a test against Snort.  If you want to see a draft please contact
me off-list.  Otherwise, the article should appear in December or
January.

Sincerely,

Richard
