Emulating/triggering alerts.

[Altmana]

Hi everyone!
I would like to test Suricata, one way to do this is to connect it inline, activate a bunch of rules that I know how to trigger using various tools like NMAP but is there a better way?

Is there a script or a tool that can emulate a bunch of known/simple attacks?

Coming from commercial IDS/IPS systems, you usually have access to such tools but I could not find anything for Suricata.
I really hope that someone here can help me out.

 Thank you upfront!

Ping!
Anything better than  IDSDeathBlossom ?

I guess it will have to do for now.
