Hi,

Karalon Traffic IQ Pro can be used to test attack/exploit detection
capabilities of IDS/IPS systems.  I am interested in knowing SNORT
IDS detection capabilities and its coverage when Traffic IQ Pro
system is used.  

Since Snort is (substantially) a misuse-based system, a detection rate
figure will tell you nothing (or close-to-nothing) useful about it.

Detection Rate and False Positive Rate are a good way to score anomaly
detectors, but are not useful to score misuse detectors.
