RE: IDS Evaluation

Have you thought about looking at IDS Informer? 

It is a self contained stateful testing solution designed specifically for
IDS & IPS testing, it comes with a library of over 700 attacks and you can
grab information at

It is used by a wide range of corporate, government, consulting, services
and security vendor customers.

Subject: IDS Evaluation

Hi,

i'm developing a project which consist on evaluating IDSs. I'm thinking of
using nessus as a tool to test the number of malicious packets sent to the
ids, and the number of good ones, in order to take statistics about the
accuracy of the ids. Any idea about this?

Thanks for your help.
