IDS: Testing IDS/IPS Solutions

[Jimmy Stewpot <squid () oranged to>]

Hello,

I am currently evaluating some UTM devices (fortinet, SonicWALL etc as 
per my previous posts). So far my testing has been fairly limited. I am 
currently looking to see if there are any tools around to test these 
types of devices, Currently my testing is all done through basic perl 
scripts however the information I get back from them is not really 
ideal, Any ideas or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,

Jimmy.
