Re: Testing Snort

[Josh Bitto <jbitto () onlineschool ca>]

Well I have snort running on a test lab to see how well it actually runs. I figured out my problem that I had in 
pfsense. I had to bridge my WAN and LAN together for snort to actually start. That being said I can see alerts and that 
all works. Now my real work is to be started and test to make sure that snort runs ok with our network. So I want to 
similate bad traffic so I can so my boss and say hey this works let's use it...

If you want to see if it alerts on packets in general, you can load PCAPs from a number of sources and read them 
through to see if the rules fire.  If you want to see that it's seeing network traffic and alerting, you can make a 
local rule for something and then send that traffic and see if that fires.

Otherwise, what are you trying to test?
