HI all,
I'm an IDS newbie, I've to evaluate some host-based IDS products.
I need some advice about how to setup a fisible testbed.

I would reproduce some attacks from an attacker machine towards two victim
machines (winnt and solaris) on which I've to install ids sensors:
I need some pointers to find some attack/evaluation tools to exec towards
the victim machine inside my testbed.

I also know something about IDSwakeup/snot/stick tools; but AFAIK they're
for network ids evaluation.
Is there something out there (similar to it) for host-based ids ?
it could be very useful to me if you would point me the right way.
thank you in advance,
Gianluca
