You could check out what the rules are trying to catch, and construct/send such packets with telnet/netcat/sendip or similar tools from a remote system against a host watched by Snort, and see if Snort reacts. For our convenience, someone wrote an IIS worm so we all could verify our IIS rules very efficiently every 2 minutes. /Andreas
Hello, I am new to snort and am wondering how other people test to see if snort is working on their system. I have seen security auditing systems available on the web for on demand system challenges...is that how you do it? Or enlist a friend with scanning software?
