Snort signature packet generator: Thanks

[Graeme Connell <gconnell () middlebury edu>]

To all who sent me links to programs generating packets from snort 
signatures:  Thanks a bunch.  I've got more than enough programs to 
start myself off with now.  For those of you with the same question as 
me, here's a rundown of what I've received:

Some comments:
I'm not sure if Blade Software's IDS Informer 30-day trial liscence will 
allow me to use it for research purposes.  I've contacted them and am 
waiting for a response.

As for using Nemisis / Nmap, the problem is that I'm looking to generate 
very large data sets, and crafting each packet with nemesis would take 
me the rest of my life.  Nmap is a bit too specialized (scanning only).

By the way, I've been trying to download Shmoo Group's Capture the 
Root-Fu (http://www.shmoo.com/cctf/) to use for the same purpose, but as 
of yet I'm unable to download through either the Bittorrent or the Http 
link.  Does anyone have this packet dump mirrored anywhere?  Or sitting 
at home collecting dust on a CD?

Once again, thanks for all the help.
