Nessus is a bad choice to test IDS as it is a vulnerability scanner.
so in many cases, it simply look for the version and reports if the
version is vulnerable. Therefore, no corresponding log will be found
in your IDS => many False Negatives (actually leading to FPs!!!!,
i.e. wrong conclusion)
>2. Hping
can be a good tool, but again it is a tool for crafting packets. you
should know what to send.
>3. Nmap
known tool for reconnaissance.
>4. Snort
How?? it itself is an IDS, so please let me know how can I use it to
test an IDS?
>5. TCP Replay
Again, it is a pcap file re-transmission tool. you need to have
capture of attacks.
>6. Netcat
Again good for reconnaissance and sending data, if you know what to send.
In my opinion, apart from tools mentioned in other mails under the
same thread, Metasploit (free) and TrafficIQ (commercial) and Core
Impact (commercial) are good choices.
