If the IDS uses pcap (tcpdump et al) then you might find a way to crash the IDS. It seems that new IDS-crashing spoits come up often enough that perhaps your customer isn't completely up to date. Linuxsecurity.com has a decent article on testing IDS systems here: http://www.linuxsecurity.com/content/view/114356/65/. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
