To all who sent me links to programs generating packets from snort
signatures: Thanks a bunch. I've got more than enough programs to
start myself off with now. For those of you with the same question as
me, here's a rundown of what I've received:

Some comments:
I'm not sure if Blade Software's IDS Informer 30-day trial liscence will
allow me to use it for research purposes. I've contacted them and am
waiting for a response.
As for using Nemisis / Nmap, the problem is that I'm looking to generate
very large data sets, and crafting each packet with nemesis would take
me the rest of my life. Nmap is a bit too specialized (scanning only).
By the way, I've been trying to download Shmoo Group's Capture the
Root-Fu (http://www.shmoo.com/cctf/) to use for the same purpose, but as
of yet I'm unable to download through either the Bittorrent or the Http
link. Does anyone have this packet dump mirrored anywhere? Or sitting
at home collecting dust on a CD?
Once again, thanks for all the help.
