IDSwakeup is a collection of tools that allows to test network intrusion detection systems.
The main goal of IDSwakeup is to generate false attack that mimic well known ones, in order to see if NIDS detects them and generates false positives.

This release of IDSwakeup includes:

• IDSwakeup The main shell script that permits to launch hping2 or iwu. The user just has to choose which attack or set of attacks he or she want to mimic. The user can also fix the TTL to produce short TTL and impact only NIDS and not the servers.
  Usage: ./IDSwakeup [nb] [ttl]
  IDSwakeup requires hping2.
  
• iwu Sends a buffer as a datagram. It allows to change the source address, the destination address, the TTL (in order to produce short TTL). It also takes as parameter the number of times the user wants to send the same datagram.
  Usage: ./iwu
  Example: ./iwu 10.0.0.1 20.0.0.2 200 4 \
          "4500 0018 00f2 0003 4011 73db 0101 0101 0202 0202 e63e 4494"
  iwu requires libnet 1.x.
