Rule2Alert

Hi, some updates.
I have started a new project with Josh Smith and Will Metcalf. Talking about scapy Josh told me if I would like to get involved in the project, and we created a google project called "rule2alert".


It's written in python and use scapy. The purpose of this project is to read snort compatible rules and write a pcap with packets that should match the rules. This can be used later to test NIDS like suricata and snort and detect problems on the detection plugins. Of course this needs a lot of development, for each rule keyword, so we don't think we will generate payloads for all the rules, but also for the majority of them. At the moment we deal with content and content modifiers, and also content hexa data specification, and flow options, performing TCP 3 way handshakes. The next steps will be focussed on http protocol options, like uricontent.

We hope it will be a good QA tool. If you would like to get involved, feel free to get in touch.
