Graeme,

Several exist. 

1) Snot
2) Stick

However, a pretty awesome tool that we've been using internally is
IDS Informer from Blade Software (http://www.blade-software.com) This
tool not only sends the attacks out on the wire but also completes a
three-way handshake with the attack simulating a victim host to make
Snort/any IDS think an actual attack is taking place. You can choose
from hundreds if not more, attacks from its attack selector. They'll
give you a 30-day trial if you want to sniff it out. It is definitely
worth a look at!

Subject: Snort signature packet generator

I'm attempting to train a neural network using snort, and I'm having
trouble getting a good number of "bad" packets, IE: those that snort
considers malicious.  Since a snort signature is really just a
definition of a subset of all possible packets, it seems like it
should be possible to create a packet that snort considers bad by
filling in packet fields based on a snort signature, then filling the
rest of the packet with random garbage.  Does anyone know if this
type of program has already been created, and if so, where could I
find it?  Thanks.
