Re: Testing My Snort DIDS

[twig les <twigles () yahoo com>]

I just sent my IDS test plan to the list (Monday I think) but no
one said anything so I'm not sure if the attachment got
bit-bucketed (or just a collective *yawn*).  Basically if you
can scrounge up a similar box and do an exact same configuration
but leave the test box inside of a secure LAN it helps
tremendously.  Then just setup a box to slap around (throw up a
web server, ftp, finger, whatever) and an attack box (laptop
running *nix for tools).  You won't be able to test every rule
so pick 20 or so at random (or semi-random, MS shop skips SunRPC
rules...).  Or pick 50....  Lemme know if you want that excel I
drew up and I'll mail it offlist.
