l'Stick' - an IDS stress tool
–"The tool uses the Snort
rule set and produces a C program via lex that when compiled will produce an IP packet capable of triggering that rule from a spoofed IP range (or all possible IP addresses) into a target IP range. A function is produced for each rule
and a loop then executes
these rules in a random order. The tool currently produces these at about
250 alarms per second. .."
