IS there any tool or script to trigger IPS signature ?

Hi Team ,

IS there any tool or script to trigger IPS signature in order to check live if we receive IPS logs on SMS?

Tool ??? A whole Linux distribution is available to trigger a lot of IPS signatures : http://www.kali.org/

Or you could try sk115236: CheckMe - Instant Security Check

I am looking for a quick test

For my IPS Immersion class we used the old tool "nikto" which is a CLI-based web vulnerability scanner for Linux.  Aim it at a webserver through the firewall with IPS enabled, and after creating an exception for the "Nikto web scanner" signature (which will initially block everything) nikto will light up the IPS with about 15-20 different web-based signature hits.

You can always enable the Large Ping signature (I believe it's disabled by default) and generate a bigger than normal ping.

Thank for advice.I enable max ping size signature (attack name large ping) and reduce the packet size. Test it and works.
